In Dutch we would probably call this a 'mooie tatus': 3cy argentatus argentatus. Note the small white area's (moons) between the grey tongues and the black tips of the primaries.

Hello,
thank you for comments!
For me 3cy herring gull in December with such kind of tail (like american herring gull) was just very strange looking gull in Finland.
