Larus fuscus fuscus 2cy June 15 2008, Tara, Finland. Images Hannu Koskinen.
Presumed 2cy fuscus in spring. Bird has replaced wing-coverts, scapulars, tertials and tail-feathers to 2nd gen. Primaries and secondaries still juvenile. In this way, much similar to post-juvenile moult on winter grounds as found in intermedius.
