Gull in Toronto, Canada? (1 Viewer)

Saw a pretty big brown gull in Toronto near Ontario Place last month and have been wondering what species it was: https://imgur.com/ICfpZSi

Thank you!

The larger gull species are brownish when young. Yours is not all that brown, I'd guess it's a second-year gull of a species that takes four years to develop. Its legs seem pinkish (compare to yellower legs of nearby birds) which only helps a little, but if I had to guess I'd go with Herring Gull, which is very common.
Telling a young Herring from a young Glaucous, for example, is above my pay grade, but there are some experts here who may come along shortly.

American Herring Gull; I'd go with a 1st year though.

The smaller adult gulls are Ring-billed Gulls.
