Vega Gull (vegae) sub-adult, March 06 2011, Choshi, Japan. Picture: Yo Wumizusume.

At first glance an immature bird with all brown primaries typical for 2nd cycle. However it has a staring yellow eye and adult-like grey band over the wing-coverts, more typical for 3rd cycle birds, which this probably is. An open-wing shot would be nice, but not avaible.
