Lesser Black-backed Gull 31 graellsii, May 08 2006 Moerdijk, The Netherlands. Picture: Mars Muusse. 

Measuring grey tones in upperparts. In our reserach, the bird's upperparts were photographed together with the Kodak Grey Scale. Images were then processed in Adobe Photoshop grey-mode, to correct for any hue. The idea is illustrated in the drawing by Andreas.
