This species is very similar to the Zino's Petrel, but is larger and has a thicker black bill. It is a rare visitor to waters off the eastern USA, though known only from sight records and photographs. (The American Ornithologists' Union has not accepted these records, and the American Birding Association has accepted them only as "Fea's/Zino's Petrel", to the annoyance of birders who are confident that they identified this species correctly.) It is also an extremely rare vagrant to western Europe, principally Great Britain and Ireland.
