Took this shot in 2010 on Muncho Lake in Northern British Columbia. Still haven't identified it. Hoping folks here can help ...

It was near a couple of Lesser Yellowlegs on the rocky shoreline.

I've debated whether it is a juvenile Herring Gull. The colour matches and my NatGeo Field Guide shows it in the area of Muncho Lake. Hope to confirm though!

Jeremy ... I did some googling. Apparently there are numerous Mew Gull nests around Muncho Lake.

You were right! Thank you!
