cachinnans plumages

Larus argentatus argentatus 3cy, April 14 2010 Simrishamn, Sweden. Picture: Hans Larsson.

Herring Gulls in 2W: The overall impression is of a rather uniform brown bird, without strong plumage contrasts. The tail is extensively dark and the rump and uppertail-coverts are well marked.
