Not much detail is included in the report but the photos are decent.  Structure and plumage visible in the photos are consistent with GWGU.

I think this gull looks like a good 1st-cycle GWGU, but will be interested to read the opinions of other IBRC members about it.

would like to see more consideration of look-alikes but the photos suggest a 1st winter GWGU
