Observation details
An adult seen roosting south of the first garbage pile with Glaucous Gulls on the east side of the road. Dark mantle and smaller size caused it to stick out rather obviously. Superficially similar to a Lesser Black-backed Gull. Mantle quite dark with highly contrasting white tertial "curtain." Blacker primary "smudges". White head, tail, and underparts. Bill structure pencil-like (not as bulky as a Glaucous or Glaucous-winged), yellow with a red spot. Flesh/pink-gray colored legs.
