mikepattersonDescription
Bi-colored bill with pink based suggests Glaucous Gull as one parent. Dark primaries point to Herring as other parent. Checkery greater coverts should exclude pure HERG or WxGW hybrid.

Slaty-backed × Glaucous Gull (Larus schistisagus × hyperboreus)Observer
dannynelson94Description
Notably larger and darker backed than the Glaucous Gulls around it. Some limited coloration in the primaries, pink legs, some red on the bill. According to gullwatchers on the Facebook group North American Gulls this seems like the likeliest hybrid. I scoured photos or purebred gulls and came to the conclusion that it must be a hybrid given the coloration and size combination.

This little guy appears to be a hybrid of Black-throated Green Warbler x Canada Warbler. I've shared these photos and the call recording with many folks and, so far, the balance of opinion is BTGW x CAWA hybrid. Feedback most welcome!
