Observation details
I didn't see the bird clearly when I was out there, but looking at the photos - it is bigger than the ring-billed gulls but not as large as the herring gulls. Red spot on the lower bill, dark eye with red circle, yellowish legs and the head shape doesn't seem like a ring-billed gull. Eye, bill, legs don't fit herring gull. My best guess is California gull. Mantle appears darker than ring-billed but tough to tell in this lighting.
