Larus ichthyaetus
A white bird with brown streaked feathers. It has lovely serene black eyes and a black beak.
Found it flying above the water on the Arabian sea just off Mumbai port.
Pallas's Gull has a mainly yellow bill with black near the tip and yellowish legs in all plumages. I see all-black bill and pinkish legs here which rules it out straight away.
Sure I understand ForestDragon, so I have named it thus. I appreciate and value the suggestion, but just curious. :)
Bhawnavij, The ID suggestions are just suggestions. You can leave your organism as unidentified until you have an ID suggestion with which you agree. :-) This bird is not a mature adult, so it may be a bit more difficult to identify.
