Murphy's crossed my mind too Nikolas, but the bird does look more like an 
"unusual Cookilaria" than what I imagine a Murphy's to look like (meaning, I 
have never seen one!).

Steve - is that 3rd image (bird flying away banking with wings 11 and 5 
o'clock) the same bird? It appears to be longer-winged in that image if so.

Also, where exactly where you when you say "NE Pacific"?

Mick

Hi Steve,

What about Murphy's Petrel. I guess the face is a bit too white and the
primary bases not extremely reflective. But maybe that fits still within
the range of Murphy's?

Cheers,

Nikolas
