Am I the only one who gets the strong feeling that this bird is, in fact, a 'good' Thayer's Gull?Kent Olsen wrote:Viking Gull, February 2012: http://gulldk.blogspot.com/search/label ... argentatus
The thin bill, rather slender body shape, the colour and pattern of the juvenile scapulars, the silvery-grey underside of the primaries, and silvery-grey inner webs to outer primaries all look spot on, and I cannot see anything wrong for this species...
A similar example, from California (Jan 2011):

Very interesting, Peter
Let’s move this particular discussion to this post: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=753
I have now selected other photos of the same individual: http://gulldk.blogspot.com/2012/03/viki ... -gull.html
If you have other California photos for comparison I would very much like to see some more
