Vega Gull (vegae) adult, January 15 2008, Choshi, Japan. Picture: Michiaki Ujihara.

Please visit Osao's & Michiaki's gull website for tons of excellent images.

Black spot on P5 only on outerweb. Extensive white in wingtip with almost thayeri pattern on P10, may indicate hybird influence? Note also saturated yellow bill (base is often pinkish in Vega) and red spot continues on upper mandible (Vega normally has spot not reaching to cutting edge). Nonetheless, the black in the wingtip is really deep black, not faded to grey; so this may just represent the whiter end of Vega spectrum.
