Rahul this looks like Black Bellied Storm Petrel, since youe image is not clear and close it is hard to id hence I would not confirm 100%.

Hi Praveen, Thank you so much for your kind help in finding the ID, but this is 'Northern Shoveller'. As my of many fellow birding friends has voted to confirmed this as NS, b'coz of its beak size :).

All best wishes & Happy Birding,

Cheers, Rahul
