Hi all,

Could you please help me to identify this young bird from Madrid?

The picture was taken yesterday.

I have more pictures if needed.

Thanks in advance,

I have already added 3 more pics.

Does not look more similar to a yellow legged gull?

LBBG seems to have a darker mantle in the pictures?

Why do you believe that it is a LBBG?

Thanks in advance,

It is just its broader appearance. Colors are ok for lbb, bill black, the saddle (back) is ok. I would expect more wear in the wing coverts (and some being moulted back in the autum)
