Again, very questionable; Vega x Glaucous Gull seems a better bet.

The photos suggest that the inner webs of the primaries are not quite jet-black; they seem to have a greyish wash over them. Also, there is a broad white tongue-tip on p6.
However, flight shots would be needed to exclude a pure Vega Gull with certainty.
