Gray mantle which appeared barely darker than other gulls in flock. Unmistakable upper wing pattern. Heavy black leading “wedge” with white secondary bar. Gray of mantle extending out to black wedge. Completely white tail. **Photos of bird we’re from the underside of the bird as the flock gained altitude.
