Larus armenicus 2cy, 18 August 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Bird in the last phase of the complete moult. Gap in the central greater coverts already closed. Exact primary moult state in the closed wing hard to determine, but there seem to be P9-P10 still old, and P7 beyond P6.
