Is this first-basic bird an Iceland Gull
(Larus glaucoides kumlieni)? It was photographed
at East Beach, Galveston, Texas on January 28, 1990 by Ted Lee
Eubanks. If not an ICGU, what is it?:
Note in the black-and-white photo below the marbled tail pattern,
and the small size (the bird is further away than the HEGU and
thus the Size Illusion effect is making it appear larger than
it actually is in real-life)
