adult nonbreeder; note the very faint grey hood (South Africa; 2007-06-30)
|
Grey-hooded Gull
Larus cirrocephalus
Native Range:
Africa and South America
Notes:
adult has a pale-grey head, but the grey is indistinct during the non-breeding season at which time the bird in Africa can be confused with sympatric Hartlaub's Gulls because both species have dark-red bills and feet and mostly snow-white plumages underneath.
