Observation details
This gull struck me as odd, but couldn't quite place it, so I sent photos to others more knowledgeable than myself and this has been confirmed as a juvenile Short-billed Gull (formerly Mew), due to the warm brown tones, bill structure, and uppertail pattern, despite being comparable in size to Ring-bills. It was present on the beach immediately above the dam at the reservoir.
