One thing to remember is that a 3rd cycle or adult Slaty-backed Gull never
has a smudgy head (as seen in this bird). The streaking on the head is very
crisp. The light iris typically shows after the first cycle. One other thing
that doesn't seem right here is that the stance is missing the deep-keeled
look.
Looks like an Olympic Gull to me.
