Hi All,

I believe it's a LBBG (no subspecies i could say:) but i need your comfirmation.I have checked so many pics of fuscus that i'm not sure anymore.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot.
That was really precise:)
Intermedius would fit in the line of other dark-backed-but-probably-not-fuscus gulls i have photographed here since April.

Cheers,

On what grounds has fuscus like this been excluded?
