It's not Larus delewarensis, no pure-blooded Ring-bill will have a red gony spot.

When was this photo taken? Will help narrow possibilities.

Great Argus, it was taken a couple of weeks ago if that helps.

bongorob, I don't know why you put the photo description into a comment?
 
Great Argus
@Kakapo It does, thanks. It looks like a near-adult California Gull, although that is not an expected species for that area. Near-adult Herring Gull would be expected and is possible.
 
Kakapo
Oh! Thanks! I would be very interested in know if my photo is from a California gull or a Herring gull :-)
