   Details

   A very large, pompous and aggressive gull wearing a fearsome expression. Very distinctive and impressively, heavily, pot-bellied and short-winged with short, dark, flat pinkish purple legs and feet. Pale, glowering eye shaded in dark pigment a hallmark of SBGU. Light, liver neck ticking also seemingly good for SBGU. Mirror and outer primaries and suggestion of string of pearls also good for Slaty-backed Gull. But this bird was barely as dark as Western Gulls in area, perhaps only a shade darker than adult Thayer's Gull and hard to differentiate on kodak scale from CAGU in area. Clearly strong SBGU genes here but there seem to be other influences as well.
