What do you think about the bird behind the links below? Initially I thought it was a good and pure adult cachinnans, albeit a bulky one. The next day, however, when I saw the bird in flight, I could hardly find any marking on P5 (though it was there), and P10 neither looked too convincing. In such cases, there's always a Polish emergency exit, but I think in this case it's rather likely that the bird is a hybrid argentatus x cachinnans. I curious to know if there are other opinions (I'm sure there are...)

Re: Another caspian-ish adult
Subterminal black band on p10 not as broad as the tip, short legs, thick bill-tip.
I agree on at least a hybrid, probably even a herring...
