Larus sp.
White-bellied, gray-backed gull with black eyes, yellow feet and beak.
Pacific Northwest coastal ecosystem.
Spotted in flight above the beach at Pacific City and telephoto-imaged.
Thanks for the ID suggestion Kathryn.
According to information at the link (below), "Identification of the large pink-footed gulls (Herring, Thayer's, Glaucous-winged, Western and Glaucous) along the West Coast is difficult."
What made you suggest Glaucous-winged as the ID?
