Larus fuscus fuscus adult, August 04 2002, Stockholm, Sweden.
An elongated, long-winged adult fuscus. The moult strategy in the wing-coverts is pretty hard to ascertain with the old bleached coverts placed randomly. There are no moult gaps in either the scapulars or he wing-coverts. Note that the small white tips on the visible outer primaries are worn away.
