Questions of identification

Hello,
A female of a breeding LBBG pair was ringed this year (30.04.2014, Gatovo). It seems to me that this gull is L.f.heuglini,
but judging by a pale color of coverts (compared with intermedius) perhaps, the bird relates to L.f.graellsii. A male has a similar color.
I would like to know your opinion. Thanks in advance, Dmitry.
