Hi, this bird looks strange to me. Dark upperparts, pure white head, breast, flanks and belly, light dark streaking on nape and breast-sides, contrasting white Underwing, old outer primaries, slender, long-winged appearence, blue-greyish hue on median coverts and some scaps, etc.?
Can anybody help?

Cheers - f.

Some features are good also for Baltic fuscus gull.

Thanks Omar!
That was/is my problem. Structually it reminds me more of Caspian than of Baltic. See in comparison with nice cach. in foreground (next pic.) and rather pale grey 3rd? gen. median covs and scaps...
