**below: Herring Gull argenteus B.N 2CY, February 03 2022, Bunschoten-Spakenburg, the Netherlands. Picture: Hans van Muiswinkel.**

Bill rather straight in this image, like Caspian. Still very streaked head by February like Herring Gull.

**below: Herring Gull argenteus B.N 2CY, January 17 2022, Almere, the Netherlands. Picture: Mars Muusse.**

Note:
- compact jizz, short winged,
- tibia have sort impression,
- notched fringes at tertials,
- rounded head, although bill maybe better for Caspian Gull,
- greater coverts with deep notched pattern, also in outer feathers, and lacking bold white tips,
- scapular pattern.

Note:

- fringes at tertials only slightly notched, not unlike seen in hybrid Caspian x Herring,
- angular and streaked head, although bill maybe better for Caspian Gull, but obvious gonys angle in image below very Herring like,
