Caspian/Armenian Gull (1 Viewer)

Captured yesterday by friends near Odessa. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your comments!

In my opinion, I'd say 3cy armenicus .

looks like a 2nd cycle cachinnans. small dark eye in a longish head, pale underwing, large pale portions on inner webs to primaries. an armenian's bill would be shorter, stubbier.
immature (2nd and 3rd cycle) large gulls with a lot of black regularly are being considered armenians but this is normal and variable in immature gulls (occuring in michahellis, cachinnans, argentatus)
