Putative Baltic Gull (
Larus fuscus fuscus) photographed on Kuusamo Rubbish Dump, Oulu Province, East Finland.
The bird represents the paler range of nominate
fuscus, but is due to the typical elongated jizz a Baltic Gull. On some Baltic Gulls breeding in Finland the mantle is clearly paler than the primary tips.
It has a small mirror on P10, located quite far from the tip of the feather. There is no mirror on P9. Unfortunately the pattern of black on P3-P5 was not seen.
The primary projection is long (primary projection:tarus ratio 1.2).
