I'm thinking American Herring Gull but the red on the bill is faded or missing- which occurs in some cases.

Happy New Year to everyone! On Lake McIntosh this afternoon I saw a Ring-billed gull with pink legs! Never seen nothing like it before. I took some photos and here's one, it kinda looks like a Thayer's gull but... it has a light eye... Any suggestions at to what bird this is appreciated 😁--
