White-eyed Gull (L. leucophthalmus)
& Sooty Gull (L. hemprichii)
(last update:
White-eyed Gull L. leucophthalmus 3CY (second winter), March 15 2008, Eilat, Israel. Picture: Avi Meir.
Could be an adult bird, showing a whole white tail. However, despite the lack of dark markings in the tail, there are a few points that better fit 3CY birds by mid March: the largely blackish bill, straw yellow legs, and dull grey extensively streaked head.
