Yes, hence my uncertainty. I will upload another picture of a different individual to see if it can be better identified, one way or another. The shearwater in question in photo 2 is the furthest bird to the left.

Ok, probably a good call - as I originally said, while they were present in the flock I was not sure about any of the individuals photographed.
