Sea eagle with rather scrawny legs! The truth revealed in the latter shots.

I was thinking Shearwater, but they have webbed feet.

The profile of the bill and feet suggest to me the prey item is a coot as Jackie suggested. Could the coot have been washed out to sea after the heavy rain from Congo Ck?
