For comparison with the potential Sooty Shearwater, here's a shot of Short-tailed taken in HK southern waters six years ago

Shearwater in HK southern waters, 26th April 2014

FWIW here are three shots I took of the shearwater under discussion.

It does look relatively long-billed and long-tailed, especially in the first photo.

And here are a couple of shots of Sooty (I believe) Shearwater from the southwest Pacific Ocean in April last year.
