This first-basic Yellow-legged Gull (Larus
michahellis) was photographed by Detlef Gruber on 20th
September 1998 at Lake Steinhude, Lower Saxony, Germany. Detlef
states "First winter michahellis; see the blunt bill
tip, rather white head, dark brown greater underwing coverts,
dark primaries with a faint window (paler inner primaries), rather
pale greater upperwing coverts, off-white uppertail coverts and
well marked black terminal tail-band":
