Larus armenicus 3cy, 18 March 2011, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Bird aged by smudge on base of inner primaries, in combination with broad band on tail and typical pattern on secondaries: broad dark centres indicate 2nd gen feathers. No mirror on P10. Rich yellow bill and general built reminds michahellis. Note white tail feather.
