Hello,

This Shearwater was photographed on the August 19th Wollongong Pelagic,
2012.

The other birds were quite obvious (excluding the few White-capped
Albatross), and we even had some ID help afterwards (thanks to Chris S.)
but my colleague just sent me this photo and I cannot be sure of its
identification. The jizz brings a Wedge-tailed Shearwater to mind, but I
think we never saw one that seems to be so pale underneath. Maybe the
strong light plays a trick on this one?

I would really appreciate all available help in this matter.

Cheers
