Re: Could be a Caspian Gull
Hello,
L. cachinnans is the most common big gull in my neighborhood. In this time, in this age (after first winter) is typical cachinnans more free - coloured (white head, grey scapulars, brown coverts). Moreover coverts on your bird have strong pattern and typical cachinnans has coverts like "wash". So I think it isnt cachinnans, but I dont know what it is.
