Iceland Gull 1st cycle (2CY) January 23 2013, Quidi Vidi Lake, St. John's, Newfoundland. Picture: Jan Baert.

Age 2cy. Extensive moult in scapulars. Such dark primaries with a smooth texture, lacking chevrons and spotting near the tips is characteristic for kumlieni, but remember dark pigmentation may fade away as winter progresses.
