Life Bird: Ashy Storm Petrel!!
Not a great picture, but I've taken worse, and you can see that the brownish strip on the upper wing doesn't reach all the way to the body, and its body and head are small in proportion to the wings. Which is how you tell it from the equally common and nearly identical Black Storm-Petrel.
