Observation details
Small, low-contrast 1st cycle gull with shortish and slender bill. Tail, belly and dark parts of wings were brown (not black). The tail had broad diffuse brown band. The tail coverts were strongly barred, The primaries and secondaries were brown and had modest contrast with pale/worn parts of upper coverts. The head appeared whitish but overall it appeared a bit bleached. The belly was not bleached and was primarily brown. The underwing coverts were brown and had low contrast with brown primaries and secondaries (unlike ring-billed gull) . The bill was slender and had diffuse dark tip. The described diffuse and low contrast pattern (see photos) and slender bill eliminate ring-billed gull.
