Avery Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 To the best of my knowledge yes, but Thayer's gull is a possibility. Pink legs and buffy streaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Dark-primaried birds of the Thayer's subspecies of Iceland Gull typically has a dark iris, if I'm not mistaken. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpoetmarcr Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Is the spot of color on the bill also an indication of which species of gull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thayer's have much large apical spots on the outer primaries and, as noted, they GENERALLY have dark eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
