Much too dark for Caspian.
Probably a Heuglin's Gull, or Lesser Black-backed Gull if you don't split them. Or maybe dark enough for Baltic Gull, or Lesser..................

it's a 2cy baltic gull spending the summer in the south. brownish hue of the dark renewed scapulars and upperwing is a good indicator for nominate larus fuscus fuscus.
