Slaty-backed Gull (schistisagus) adult, January 02 2010, Choshi, Japan. Picture: Chris Gibbins.

Please visit Chris's Blog for many more pictures! A more elongated bird. Unlike most, P10 of this individual extends beyond P9 and this creates the longer winged impression. Otherwise, it appears typical of smaller (female?) birds.
