Possible Caspian Gull - Germany (2 Viewers)

Sorry, another is it a Caspian Gull thread ;). Anyway, I photographed this gull at Friedrichshafen on the shores of Lake Constance in southern Germany last month. Yellow-legged Gulls were ten-a-penny and I didn't pay too much attention to this gull while photographing it.

Looking at the photo again, I think it may actually be Caspian rather than Yellow-legged Gull (small dark eye, leg-colour) and just wanted to confirm this.

Thanks in advance!

any other pic in another position? it looks like a caspian with its long pale legs and p9 mirror seems to be large. gonys however is pretty accentuated and i'd have liked to see an open wing to totally exclude a weird female michahellis.
