I have this down as a 1st winter Yellow-legged Gull but wanted confirmation on this. I think overall structure, head pattern, belly, flanks, underwing, faint primary window, greater coverts pattern look all good for YL Gull IMO. However whilst the black tail band seems well defined, there are a fair few marks on the rump. It this still within variation?
Also mantle and scaps seem quite heavily marked. Some question as above.
Any comments would be much appreciated.
