Gulls at Galveston, Texas earlier today (1 Viewer)

Dear Members and Bird Watchers!

I spotted these gulls today, picture 1 and 2 are ID as American Herring Gull

Picture 3+4+5, was pretty straight forward as a Ring-billed Gull. Until I looked in my book, the Ring-billed adult should have yellow leg. So now I am uncertain of the ID of this bird.

Anyone that are able to ID the bird in picture 3+4+5?

Kind Regards and Happy Birding
Aladdin

The gull on photo 3+4+5 is as well an American Herring Gull, but a 4cy bird instead of the 2cy bird you are refering to at picture 1+2.
Thank you Liebzi

Appreciated!

I was confused with the bill. Very hard for me to ID the gulls with my book as there are so many variations on the bills and in the book they are all the same.

Thanks again!
Aladdin
