Caspian Gull cachinnans F|K 1CY, May - June 2021, Lelystad, the Netherlands. Picture: Jeroen Nagtegaal & Mars Muusse.

Blue bar tibia ring b[F|K], ringed as pullus Larus cachinnans on May 28 2021 at nest 38 in colony Lelystad, the Netherlands.
ID uncertain, one adult, the male, is Caspian Gull cachinnans. Female has some argenteus influences, generally considered 'a river gull' by us, a label for those birds that don't tick all the boxes.
