Observation details
Adult. Very distant and poor photos. Having studied A. Jaramillo's full frame photos of an archetypal adult at Half Moon Bay about a week prior, I'm virtually certain this is the same individual. Viewed at great distance but seen well at 60x through Swaro BTX. Note strikingly short primary extension, dark slaty tone to mantle and coverts, medium length and heft as well as pale, pinkish based bill, and conspicuous well-defined streaking around neck and eyes, including "ear patch." Outer primary white tips heavier and more conspicuous than western. The gull mass flushed suddenly and I was unable to relocate.
