(2 images) Herring Gull 90A34157 2cy (argentatus), July 16 2003, Tampere, Finland (61.31N, 23.43E).

A 2cy argentatus, ringed in Sweden 90A34157. Ringed as 2cy on 8 April 2003 at Malmö, Pildammsparken, Sweden (55.35N 13.00E), so no certain origin. The complete moult is well underway with most wing-coverts and the inner primaries moulted to second generation. Primary P7 has been dropped and P8-P10 are still juvenile. P1-P4 are fully grown second generation flight-feathers. All tail-feathers are still present.
Most tertials and the wing-coverts are replaced for second generation feathers. The three upper tertials have been replaced and the lower tertials are still juvenile. One inner greater covert is still juvenile (probably #5), while the central greater coverts are missing. The new greater coverts grown in descendant order, from the outer-wing inwards, as is the common sequence. The gap in the median covert row is just closed, with the last replaced feathers still buffish tinged. Most juvenile wing-coverts can be found in the upper row of lesser coverts. 
Fresh scapulars can be found in the rear lowest scapulars (probably moulted to second generation as these are the last in line in the common scapular moult sequence) and in the upper scapulars (probably replaced for third generation feathers). Again, the fresh upper scapulars look very second generation like. The fresh scapulars strongly contrast with the adjacent old abraded second generation feathers, not as much in pattern but in wear and tear.

By July, the warm brown tones of the first moulted second generation feathers (inner greater coverts and inner median coverts) are faded to plain white, leaving a contrasting barred pattern on the wing-coverts. On average, 2cy argentatus is more contrastingly patterned than same aged 2cy argenteus, especially regarding the pattern on the central greater coverts. However, some argentatus are distinct "washed out" brown, showing the common vermiculated pattern of 2cy argenteus. 
The last moulted coverts are the central greater coverts and outer lesser coverts, replaced by mid-August. From mid-August onwards, 2cy argentatus start the partial autumn moult, starting again to drop the upper tertial and inner greater and median coverts.
