They were huge, easily larger than the Albatross I'm familiar with. The body appeared very heavy, chunky, and the wing borders and shafts thin albatross wings. Color appeared mottled and molting, especially on wings, general color appeared brownish with lighter head + Perhaps breast, belly not seen, still not seen. I feel quite sure of the identification. ?
