Gulls the trouble makers

Identifying Gulls is always a trouble. Especially the larger ones. One exception is the Great Black-headed Gull. The troubles becomes evident when one try to identify the Heuglin's Gulls, Steppe Gulls and Caspian Gulls. Its a ocean out there. Even the experts are in dilema most of the time.

During the last couple of months, I have collected around 9 photographs of Gulls which I was not able to ID. Posted the photographs on a number of websites and came to the following conclusion.

Heuglin's Gull
This one is an adult.
This one is a Juvenile.
Steppe / Caspian Gull

Steppe / Caspian / Heuglin's Gull
