Larus armenicus 1cy, 15 October 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Some armenicus show very michahellis-like tail pattern, but not this one: note the dark band disappearing under the upper tail-coverts in this individual. Rear lls still juvenile, obvious in this preening bird. All tertials juvenile as well.
