Subject: [MBBIRDS] Gull Herring or Vega or What the ...?
Hi birders,

After photographing the BLACK SKIMMER for a few hours, I turned my
attention to gulls and photographed this bird:

I'm guessing this is one of those second? cycle Herring / Vega type
gulls, but it would be great to get insight from the gull experts. In
the ebird report, I called it an American Herring Gull but now I'm not
so sure. The dark primaries rule out Iceland Gull... or so I'm thinking...

Your thoughts? All insight appreciated.

Pete (sinking to immature gull id)  Solé
