Herring Gull or ??? (1 Viewer)

Dears,

Could you pls help me to identify the Larus attached. Photos taken by me in Black Sea Coast of Istanbul this week . There was a big flock of Larus over 1000 members mostly Yellow Legged, some Caspian and a few Lesser Black Backed.

I can understand, it would take time to review these bad quality photos but does anyone have any ideas ?

I think it is indeed a Herring Gull. Apart from head striation I count black only on 5 primaries, making p5 look all grey (in pic 8564).
