cachinnans plumages

Larus cachinnans adult, October 27 2010, Westkapelle, the Netherlands. Picture: Ies Meulmeester.

Note the black marking on the gonys at the under-mandible and the fine dark head streaking, especially on the nape and neck. The last picture shows the typical pattern of a cachinnans wing, include a black mark on the outer web of P4.
