Gulls - Michigan, USA (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
I'm seeking identification on a few gulls seen today. The photos were taken from the shore of Lake St. Clair, located in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, amidst a massive flock of Herring/Ring-Billed Gulls. I've got some guesses but I'm curious to hear what you think! 3 and 4 are same bird, and 5 and 6 are the same bird. It's been a while since my last post, but with this being my 1,000th I'd also like to give thanks to all the folks here who have been a massive help with bird identification over the years!
