The bird I saw did indeed have pure white primaries and tertials that looked white from a distance - but from close range there were clearly a few small buff markings in the tertials. Careful inspection of the uppermost tertial showed one slightly larger subterminal mark and several smaller marks nearer the feather base. Otherwise the bird I saw was similar to Bob's description.
