Heermann's Gull? Alberni-Clayoquot, British Columbia August 13 (1 Viewer)

I saw this gull on Combers Beach near Tofino, BC this morning. Merlin is suggesting Heermann's Gull, but I don't see any yellowish or reddish on its bill. It was with some California Gull, and Glaucous-Winged Gull. It looked to be slightly smaller than the California Gull. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Looks just like a Heermann's.

Thanks for the reply. That's a life bird for me then.
