We can ID this gull as a Slender-billed Gull as follows:
- Different head-to-bill shape appearance from other gulls. Longer bill, more elongated forehead and long neck make it look different from other gulls.
- As much as we can see of the upperwing pattern, it is that of the Slender-billed Gull, including black tips.
- White face with minimal or no dark ear-spots or other spots.
The Slender-billed Gull is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 971.
