Thanks so much Liam. Glaucous wings it is.
Please convey my thanks to your special group of friends! They are amazing and i am very grateful for the valuable feedback from you and them.
The gull expert has spoken. He says Glaucous-winged. I wouldn't doubt any of his IDs when it comes to gulls!

Liam ,does seem to be a herring. Pink legs is very typical of herring gulls. They hybridize too.
Thanks. And I posted a comment on that spotting already.
