Hybrid time again

1st July 2015 - Topsham

I'm not sure if this is a move in the right direction or not. It's the 1st of July, a few juvenile Black-headed Gulls over the last week, and the 2cy Little Gull still around, thoughts turn to Yellow-legged Gulls, then I get this.

It's the same old story; a bit small, legs and feet only a little yellowish, broken black band on right P5 - at least it's complete on the left wing. It only caught my attention since it was noticeably darker than the nearby Herring Gulls.
