Which Eastern Massachusetts Yellow-footed Gull? (1 Viewer)

I saw this guy today on the southern end of Plum Island, Newbury, MA. Do you know which gull this is? It was the size of a Herring Gull or larger, but Herring gulls have pink feet.

Yellow-browed is a W Mexican/extreme SW USA species. I think you are referring to Yellow-legged Gull but that shows a reddish ring around the eye (while yours is yellow). Yellow-legged Gulls also show bright yellow legs so for me this is some sort of Herring Gull

Yellow-footed not Yellow-browed. My phone auto corrected...
