    Subadult Gull, Santa Cruz, California USA

    Souther California IDs?

    I agree with 2-5. #1 is indeed very confusing, but I think the shape of the bill (if not the color) would narrow it down to Forster's or Common. Forster's would be the default, but that doesn't explain the bill color or short tail.
