Thanks Romy. The stubby black bill is the obvious feature, but the wing patterns above and below confirm it. Des Thanks, Des.
Just to confirm that I got things right:
1. Is the final ID Saunders's Gull (Larus saundersi)?
2. Is this a new Philippine record?

Romy, it will have to go before the Rarities Committee but to me it looks just like a Saunders's Gull and I know of no other records (and I am not alone)

Thanks, Des. I'll put in the new ID now, subject to correction if the committee thinks otherwise.
