It's got quite dark wings for a herring gull, or is that normal in North America?
It looks like a Great Black-backed Gull to me, with the dark back and upperwings.
I had the same thought as Rob. Herring Gulls never have a mantle that dark. I think that's a Great Black-backed Gull.
Mantle is much too dark for a Herring Gull.
Would you be willing to let me dowload the full-size of that? I really like the light-play on the bird's underside, as well as the rather defiant-looking pose (so very gull!)
