American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) H86 10th cycle (11CY), February 21 2016, Bellport Town Dock, Bellport, NY. Picture: John Heidecker.

See website: The Gulls Of Appledore. Green H86 and metal USGS band 1767-01086, banded on Appledore Island, Maine. Banded as a "late" chick on August 19 2006. Not reported since 2011 and never this far from Appledore Island.

Overall a bird in adult pluamge, but the greater primary coverts just seem to show a dark shaft.
