Fig 7: Larus armenicus female at Tuz Golu, Turkey, May 1999. Picture: Andreas J. Helbig.
Sexed with PCR method. Typical bill marking in the Tuz Golu colony. The bill is notably small (typically for female), has a dark yellow ground colour, has a large, intense red gonys spot (marginally reaching the upper mandible) and whitish tip, thus creating a four-coloured impression.
