Observation details
At first I thought (and others did also) that this was a California Gull, partly because of the dark eyes. I have not found any other photos of a Herring Gull at this age with such dark eyes. The back seems too light to be California though. It seems strange that the wings look more like a 2nd year bird and the bill looks closer to an adult (maybe 3rd year bird).
