Herring Gull DN-12962 2cy (argentatus), August 12 2002, Tampere, Finland (61.31N,23.43E).

A 2cy argentatus, ringed in Poland with a metal ring, Gdansk DN-12962.
The complete moult is almost finished with most wing-coverts and the inner primaries moulted to second generation. The outer primary P10 is still juvenile and P1-P7 are fully grown second generation flight-feathers.
The upper four tertials and most of the wing-coverts are replaced for second generation feathers. The central greater coverts are fully grown and the gaps of the last missing wing-coverts can be found in the upper rows of the lesser coverts. All scapulars have been replaced by at least second generation feathers, including the scapulars in the lowest row.

By August, the fringes of the first moulted wing-coverts (inner greater coverts and inner median coverts) wear away. On average, 2cy argentatus is more contrastingly patterned than same aged 2cy argenteus, especially regarding the pattern on the central greater coverts. However, some argentatus (obviously including this individual) are distinct "washed out" brown. The last moulted coverts are the central greater coverts and outer lesser coverts, replaced by mid-August. From mid-August onwards, 2cy argentatus start the partial autumn moult, starting again to drop the upper tertial and inner greater and median coverts.
