Observation details

Likely third-year individual. Mixed in large flock of gulls at 37.47994 -122.45130. Dark back, pale eye, very thin streaking (herring-esque) on nape, thin long bill (also herring-like). More purple pink leg color than nearby western gulls. Overall size was smaller than a western. Just slightly larger than a herring. Seen late in our visit. Still with flock at 1708 upon departure.
