I have seen a handful of Fea's Petrels off the coast of NC, but each time I have had camera issues preventing a proper picture. On this particular trip it rained most of the time and I think salt water at the juncture of the lens and camera was causing a contact problem. We got amazing looks at this Fea's Petrel flying right along side of the boat but my camera malfunctioned. Luckily I did manage to get it to work albeit further away. The dark wings are diagnostic and other folks on the boat got great pics which were good enough to rule out Zino's which also have dark underwings.
