   We can ID this gull as a Slender-billed Gull as follows:

• Different head-to-bill shape appearance from other gulls.  Longer bill, more elongated forehead and long neck make it look different from other gulls.
• As much as we can see of the upperwing pattern, it is that of the Slender-billed Gull, including black tips.
• White face with minimal or no dark ear-spots or other spots.

   The Slender-billed Gull is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 971.
