Probable Caspian Gull - Garda Lake, Italy (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

I want to show you a picture of this gull that I saw on Friday, 4 nov 2011 in Sirmione (BS - Italy).
Some italian birders think with me that it isn't a michahellis (very common here), it seems a caspian gull but we are not sure about age (3cy? 4cy?); other birders say that it can be a different kind of gull, maybe more "exotic".

What do you think about this picture?

Thank you in advance,

Paolo Bertini

It looks pretty good for a Caspian Gull. The age would be 4cy or more, but I would like to see a shot with a wing tip...

By the way, which was the more exotic option?

Heuglini, mongolicus :eek!: but the realistic doubt is between michahellis and cachinnans

I wait for other opinions,

thanks again
