    This was taken in January this year near Shoreline in Mountainview, CA. I think this is a Western Gull pale winter from its large bill. Need confirmation.

    Hi Indranil- Western Gulls are quite rare as gulls go but localised to the west coast of the US. They are about the size of a Herring Gull but have a much darker back and wings. What little of the upper wing you can see here looks dark so I would guess a Western Gull. They also have pink feet.
