Larus armenicus 1cy, 15 December 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Single wing-coverts and scapulars replaced. Bleached bird. Wing-coverts very abraded, reduced to just a shaft (or maybe missing outer mc and llc, and in that case post-juv moult) exposing the gc-base underneath. R5 left 2nd gen; other flight feather still juvenile.
