    Details

    Large shearwaters (in direct comparison with Black-vented) with clearly longer wings and slower, more rowing wingbeats and slower 'arcs'. Flying at slower speed than Black-vented. Grey-brown upperwings (in at least one bird also with impression of blackish 'M' across) and grey-brown head contrasting with gleaming white underparts and largely white underwings. Tail moderately short. I am familiar with this species from California.
