Kelp Gull

Kelp Gull, Captiva Island (Lee), photos. Not Accepted 0-7. Leg color ambiguous, appeared more pink than yellow. White in outer primaries not consistent with Kelp Gull. Relatively large mirror on P9 and extensive white from mirror to tip on P10. P10 also extends beyond P9. Details too ambiguous to confirm identification. Identification consistent with Great Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus).
