Need help with this Gull in Germany (1 Viewer)

[birdingberlin]

Hello
I saw this Gull in Germany at Oderbruch on Sat 27.05.23
I know the Bill is deformed
But otherwise I have some problems with the ID.
I think there some hints of a Common Gull and some of a Mediterranean Gull.
May this a hybrid and this the reason for the bill?
Best regards bernd

Looks like a 3CY Common Gull Larus canus (apart from the bill) to me.

Yes,my first thought too.
But this bird have black legs.
I don't found any picture with black legs and have never seen a Common Gull with them.

Ah yes - I had ignored the legs (!) and just looked at the plumage. I've never seen a Common Gull with black legs either but I've never seen one with a bill like that either.
