Observation details
2nd or 3rd cycle. Fairly slender, long-winged gull, bigger than RBGU, smaller than HERG. Dark gray mantle (much darker than those of nearby adult RBGUs), coverts dark gray with brownish tinge; upper wing all dark in flight (lacked pale inner primaries of imm HERG); primaries black lacking white apical tip; head lightly streaked. Bill dark distally with pale tip, pale proximally; legs dingy yellow. Tail appeared to have dark terminal strip in flight but uncertain of exact pattern; photos seem to show extensive black in tail. Distant (over 300 m) photos.
