Hello,
What can be this "petrel" observed not far from Cape Horn early December ?
The clear bird in the company of the Sooty Shearwater.
Leucistic bird ?
Thanks to who can help me.

Or more correctly, a partial albino Sooty Shearwater. 8-P

If we're being pedantic, then partially leucistic Sooty Shearwater would be more correct I think? 8-P
