Gull in Florence, Italy

[Ramon Quisumbing]

I saw dozens of this small Gull on the Arno River, Florence, Italy, as well as 2-3 on Lake Bracciano near Rome. I googled the birds of Italy, which lists 6 gulls (Audouin's, Yellow-legged, Slender-billed, Mediterranean, Little and Black-headed), but none of them look like this gull. ID please.

It's a Black-headed Gull, winter plumage.

Thank you, Jonas. Nice to have PBPF members based in Europe.

First three are adults, next three are first winter. If you are lucky you can see this species in the Philippines
