Media notes
Not sure what to make of this bird. There was another really similar looking AHGU here too, but the primaries are so pale it made me look at it for a while.
Observation details
Confident again with the help of Noah Arthur here. I was pretty set on this bird being Nelson's (as noted in my larus sp. comment), just needed confirmation. Very light-colored herring-type gull with pale-edged pale primaries, pale tertials, pale eye with slight smudging around it, longer bicolored bill with string demarcation of the black tip.
