Took this one on Aug 30 at Humber Bay Park East during CNE air show:



It definitely isn't a ring-billed gull.  May be a juvenile American Herring Gull but I'm not sure.  Second opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I'm NOT a gull expert.  I've never had the patience for it, but this one certainly looks like a juvenile Herring Gull to me.  Ring-billed are by far the most common there at any time of year, but there's usually one or two Herring around as well.
