Observation details
Ugly gull. First spring plumage with lots of gray mixed with brown on back and breast. Bill almost all dark, heavier bill than Ring-billed Gulls nearby, with at least a bit of a gonydeal bulge. Primaries long and medium brown, same shade as tertials but darker than rest of body. Bird much heavier than Ring-billed Gull next to it. Was leaning toward Herring Gull in field, but not sure I can rule out Glaucous-winged x Western hybrid.
