There are several options. I can't even exclude a 2nd cycle YLG on this pic (in 2nd cycle underparts and axillaries can be white in YLG, less so in 1st cycle). The other options would be cachinnans or a cachinnans-hybrid with HG. But you'd need more and better pics to ID it, including ones that show upperside of the bird, as said in the previous comment.

Thanks, That's unfortunately my only photo! You can only vaguely see a bit of the upper wing but not the right bit of it! Can it be certain that it is not pure herring? I guess thats still a slight option?
