Today I photographed a large, dark-backed gull with yellow legs at the jetty at Quintana. Size-wise, it appeared larger than a Herring Gull. It still has some juvenile-like plumage on the breast. The gull also appears to be banded. I would like to hear from any readers who may have an opinion on the ID.
