I'm a fellow unsure-about-gulls-in-general birder, but I agree with your identifications! The photo of the Lesser Black-backed Gull is a keeper! I think in addition to their colors, note how the Lesser Black-backed Gull just has a different--look overall than the California Gull. It has a slimmer body build, and like Nick said in the presentation, the silhouette of these gulls can also help guide on-the-spot intuition as to where an identification can lead.
The birds are happy, and so am I
