Albatross ID near the Chatham Islands (1 Viewer)

Hello

I would appreciate help in identifying the species in the attached photographs. All were taken near the Chatham Island group in November last year. I am thinking Buller's, Salvin's, Chatham and Northern Royal, but I am very new to seabird ID and any guidance would be very welcome.

Thanks
Linda
