I'm happy to be shot down on this (but just tell me how I've got it wrong if you do), but is it a 1st-winter Audouin's Gull? I'm going on the dark eye, dark grey blotches on the otherwise lighter grey wings, dark, short-ish bill and grey legs, along with the sloping forehead.

interesting gull, something about it says laughing gull, but if I'm way off the mark, I should be in bed developing tomorrow's hangover.

Yes, Audouin's - moral of the story, never go birdwatching after a bottle of wine in the middle of the night.
