Re: [cobirds] Possible Slaty-backed Gull, Larimer

Most lariphiles agree some first cycle pale-headed gulls are challenging.  So much variation. 
Can you you elaborate on those "checked boxes" you mention?

A first cycle large white-headed Gull at Horseshoe Reservoir in Loveland (Larimer) seems to check most boxes for Slaty-backed Gull. See photos below. Warning: this age/species combo is very difficult to confirm so may not get confirmed in eBird or accepted by a records committee. But wanted to share to give folks an opportunity to look for it.
