Location? It's a young gull, one of the smaller species like Laughing Gull.

It may very well be a laughing gull. Black bill, black legs, note the suggestion of white "eyelids"... I think it's a juvenile molting into first-winter plumage.

I don't have enough experience to rule out similar gulls like Bonaparte's, but Laughing is a good candidate, assuming you're in Florida.
