Not quite sure what to think, but some things seem to match with iceland
gull. Please give me your thoughts.

Some notes:

-Smaller size than olympic gulls it was hanging out with
-Overall pale appearance with slight light gray on back (suggesting pale
juvenile iceland?)
-Smaller and different-shaped beak than olympic gulls, mostly dark with some
pink on last 1/3 of inner lower mandible
-Pink legs
