Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla), likely a juvenile or non-breeding adult based on the plumage.
Key identifying features:
Dark-tipped bill (blackish).
Dark wings with lighter underparts.
Grayish back and wing coverts with brownish tones—common in immature gulls.
White head with some smudging, not the full black hood of breeding adults.
Seasonal variation:
In breeding season, adults have a full black hood.
In non-breeding season, the hood fades to a smudgy gray or partial cap.
Juveniles often show more brown in the wings and mottled markings on the head.
