(two images) Larus fuscus fuscus, August 03 2002, Stockholm, Sweden.
An individual which is not really easily aged as
there is still some black on the bill and some of the wing-coverts are very pale
brown, especially in the carpal edge. This could indicate a sub-adult.
On the other hand the p10 mirror is pretty large and even p9 shows a mirror (as
can just be seen in the top image). This of course strongly advocates an adult.
The tail is all white and completely present.
