Kelp Gull?

Outside Barrie this afternoon and noticed a group of ringbilled gulls in a plowed field.  This larger gull was standing and so I took a few pics.  It has black wings with the white tips.  Pretty cool if it is.  This far north at this time of year.

From the photographs I can't tell whether the gull has pink or yellow legs.  I would look at it and just assume that it was a Great Black-backed Gull, which is far more common than the accidental Kelp Gull.

darn it.  I have a feeling you're right.  Rookie mistake.
