Hi,

Is this a Thayer's gull, the bill looks too small for a Herring. Thanks for looking.

It is pale looking. Could you compare the size with any other gulls?

Definitely bigger than a ring-billed. About the size of a Herring.

Doesn't look like a typical Herring Gull, so you might be right. Hopefully one of the gull experts can weigh in.

Runty Herring Gull for me. And looks like it's missing an eye?
