Observation details
Mis-IDed in the field as Caspian Gull based on it not being a Black-headed, which leaves Caspian as the other expected gull here. But upon looking at photos it is apparent from head shape, bill markings and length, and extensive black on wingtips that this is a Common Gull. Subspecies heinei (Russian) based on lacking any pale tongues and having solid black on P10, P9, and P8, no white tongue-tip on P7, and having a clean white head and neck already in early February. L. c. heinei is the most expected subspecies based on range and previous records of Common Gull in Central Asia. First eBird record for Tajikistan.
