This is a 1st summer bird showing the dark bill with a pale base and the worn brown feathers looking almost white. Legs are pinkish and the head has a rather gentle look. It is noticeably smaller than the Great Black-backed Gull it is standing close to in photo 3. (Glaucous Gull L. hyperboreus would look about the same size as Great Black-backed Gull.) | |||
