White-chinned Petrel
(Procellaria aequinoctialis)
 |
|
Kaikoura, New Zealand - November 2005
|
| White-chinned Petrel is practically identical to Westland Petrel. The white chin is diagnostic, but, as on the bird above, can be limited to just a few feathers at the base of the bill. Another difference is the yellow tip to the bill (black, or dark grey, in Westland). |

| The white chin is much more obvious on this bird, and was visible even at a distance. |
