glaucoides - kumlieni

(last update: January 26, 2012)

Iceland Gull (glaucoides) 1st cycle (2CY), January 06 2012, Klaksvík, Faroes. Picture: Silas Olofson.

First winter. Most likely a glaucoides. Almost impossible to tell the difference between pale kumlieni and dark glaucoides in first winter plumage, but the tips of the outer primaries seem to be pale with only accentuated chevrons near the tips. No dark outer-webs.
