Thayer's Gull adult, December 24 2011, Duluth, Minnesota, US. Picture: Karl Bardon.

Visit: Karl's Pbase pages.

Tiny spot on outer web of P5 (probably hardly visible in the field) but P5 with faint band on right wing, and broken sub-terminal band on P10. Inner web of P10 with much black. Thayeri pattern on P9 combined with broad sub-terminal band. Medial band on P9 continues on inner web, and just covers the edge of the outer web at the mirror (P9 mirror on both webs).

Bird probably best matches (except for P5 pattern) option Plate 3-i.
