Short-billed Gull (Larus brachyrhynchus)Observer

In the first photo, it's on the left. Two RBGU on the right.
I believe a nonbreeding adult. Similar size to the many nearby RBGU, possibly a little smaller. Dark eye compared of the pale eye of RBGU. Smaller bill with only a faint dark ring on it. Also separated from the RBGUs by the large white tertial-crescents (tips of tertials) and the small white scapular-crescents (tips of lower scapulars). Smudgy brown on head. Gray back appears slightly darker than RBGU.
