Little gull or black-headed - Northumberland, UK (1 Viewer)

[_pauls]

Apologies for the poor photos - quite distant and a stiff wind coming off the sea - this is one of two that looked like little gulls to me, and in a location (Druridge Bay) where I've seen them previously. Relatively small and bouncy flight - although to be fair they were struggling into the wind which may have affected this.

(taken this evening - 30th May)

Any thoughts?

Wouldn't Little Gull be darker under the wing? I'm not a gull expert, but these look like Black-headed to me.
