Larus armenicus adult, 13 September 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Adult in active complete moult. P7-P10 still old. The exact moult stage of the wing coverts is hard to tell in this individual, as there is only a shaft left in some of the feathers; but inner and central median coverts seem to be missing. These pictures may show the same individual, which apparently has one paler iris.
