Best Friends...

I believe this might be a Franklin's Gull and a Laughing Gull. I cannot see enough markings to be certain regarding the Franklin's Gull. Any help would be appreciated. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nikon 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 VR AF-S ED, image captured at 220mm
1/1250 F/8 Matrix Metering EV -1/3 ISO 320 Auto WB HH
Post processed in Lightroom Classic, Photoshop CC 2019 and Neat Image for noise reduction, removed a small wave bisecting the frame at the top of the birds heads
Cropped for composition and presentation

Nice to have both in focus and reasonable head turns. No idea about the species. A pano crop cutting the wave out and a bit oof the bottom could also work.

I would as well crop out the waves at the top. Bit more head turn for the gull on the left would have been nice.

Nice light and nice view of these gulls. The only difference i see is the black on the head.
