This one puzzles me

This one puzzles me. At first I thought it was a Black-headed Gull in winterplumage. But I don´t see any dark markings on the head. Bill and legs are red on this shot and the legs seem very long. I can´t figure out from my book who it is. Anyone knows??

  1. No cannot help with that one. Is that a ring on its leg? Where you able to rad the ring?

  2. Gulls are hard to identify, at least they are for me. So sorry I can't help.
