Observation details
The mantle was pale gray with snow white primaries. It was a smallish gull with small two-toned bill (dark tip and pale base) and nicely rounded head (my photos show some variability in this field mark – three photos from side that show all of the bird also show rounded crown on two photos but the third photo shows the crown somewhat flattened just before the bird got up in flight). Of interest were the relatively short legs that were accentuated by the feathered tibia (see photos).
