Better pics needed to clinch a juvenile caspian, michal. Could well be but darkish head looks off.

So I'm throwing some photos in addition. What can it be besides a gull. May it be Palla's?

But on some photos (poor photos) there is something like eye crescents, and the gull has something like dark hood, mask. Or am i wrong?

you surely can have hybrids in poland though. there used to be the "saying" among gullers: this is a polish guy/girl
