Near Provincetown, MA on 07/26. It is the bird in the upper right hand quadrant in flight. The yellow bill is what is leading me to believe that I have IDed correctly. This would make the 4th shearwater on this trip, all new for me.

I am pretty sure you are correct.

BTW... were these seen from shore or on a whale watch?

Nevermind, I should have read the other thread first!
