Southern Royal Albatross
White-capped Albatross
Northern Royal Albatross
Note the dark line along the cutting edges of the mandible which is shared with Northern Royal Albatross only not shown on any of the Wandering Albatrosses. Compared with Northern Royal, especially in flight, not the larger white patches on the wing and the generally more patch upper-wing appearance. Only a couple were seen though fortunately were part of '6 Albatross species in an hour' on our very last pelagic.
Black-browed Albatross
