Larus armenicus 3cy, 13 September 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Pictures: Amir Ben Dov.
Bird in last phase of complete moult, with P10 still present in the right wing, but dropped in the left wing. P1-P7 fully grown, P8 half way, P9-P10 missing. PMS = 41. S1-S4 (outermost secondaries, adjacent to P1) replaced and growing. Central secondaries have been dropped quickly one after another, leaving a large gap. The second moult wave from the body outwards has started as well. Tail also in active moult, with new feathers again showing some black.
