Leucistic Herring Gull vs Iceland Gull, redux. Gulf Pond, 12/4/19



Found today on Gulf Pond in Milford.  At first I thought it was a first winter Iceland Gull (a few photos show the more rounded head, but others do not); also, bill (seems wrong color on tip for Iceland) seems too large for Iceland but same as Herring; large amount of pink on body and flight feathers coincides with a Sept 2018 leucistic Herring), so it seems possibly another (or the same) leucistic Herring Gull I found twice in 2018.
