Observation details
This guy was throwing me off. With hybrids in the area I was split between identifying it as a Glaucous-wing x Western gull due to the color of the iris, darker grey mantle, and heavy-billed appearance or a Herring Gull because it mostly met the criteria. Brownish-yellow iris, yellow gape, pink legs, grey upper parts with mostly black primaries. In the end, I determined there was enough field marks to identify it as a HERG; however, I’m open to others input.
