Hello,
Thought I'd get some opinions on this gull I saw at Clackamette Park
today. I thought "oh a Thayer's" but then Larus-doubt creeped in and took
hold.

So it has a "friendly" face, I'd let it take a Mew to the prom. Somewhat
slenderish bill but the gonydeal seems to have some angle to it. The eye
was fairly dark with maybe a raspberry coloring to the orbital but the
light could have been better.
The legs don't have that deep pink color. The gray mantle was a close
match to the Glaucous-Winged gulls.
I saw a picture on the interweb that seemed close and it was a
Glaucous-Winged x Western but the mantle was darker.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Justin
