Olympic Gull ? (occidentalis x glaucescens) 2nd cycle, January 02 2012, Gray's Harbor, WA. Picture: Amar Ayyash.

Bulky bird. Mottled texture as in Glaucous-winged. Medium grey tail and primaries may indicate Western influence (or maybe just matching Glaucous-winged?). Pale grey upperparts intermediate.
