That's a shadow of one wing over the other

look at the glaucous winged in here. Doesn't it have black wing tips. I find this very confusing!!
Glaucous-wing has grey wing tips, has a red spot bill and is large.
Ring-billed is small, ring around the bill.
Herring bill looks like a Glaucous-wing but has black wing tips.
Did you see my Glaucous Gull?

These are fairly common,next to the ring billed and Herring.Learning and trying to differentiate the 3. Ring billed seems easier.
nice pics.
