Larus fuscus fuscus 2cy, April 02 2010, Ashdod. Picture Amir Ben Dov.
Nominate fuscus by early April. Very retarded bird by April, as one would expect 2cy birds to be in active wing-covert moult and primary moult by now. However, still juvenile wing-covert panel and no obvious moult gaps (albeit that inner mc and inner llc may be missing).
