Distant shot! But looks intriguing - any inspired guesses?

David, presumably the distant flying bird?

Possibly a Sabines.

Could be a Fea's/Zino Petrel.

I can't even decide if i'm seeing under- or upperside

Is this the bird that was reported as a possible Bermuda Petrel?

Yes - that seems to have been the original suggestion from the observer involved, though Trinidade Petrel has also now been mooted - that does seem to be a possibility, though I guess that the photo won't be deemed to provide definitive proof

White-Faced Storm Petrel? Wings look a bit pointed for that though.
If not would guess Fea's but certainly no expert on such things!

Perhaps a slightly clearer view here

Still not sure if the apparent quite long rear end is a continuation of the ripple on the sea which can be seen beyond the front end of the bird.

If it is a petrel, I don't think it can be narrowed down to species.
