Hello,
    I found this gull among several hundred others. This one seemed to catch my eye because of its very pale wing, white tail feathers and larger size. I believe this might be a Glaucous gull but as i am not very good or experienced in identifying gulls, I would like a second opinion. Thanks!

That looks like the young glaucous gull on Frenchman's Bay in Pickering. Unfortunately it is now deceased.
