The combination of pale mantle, clean white head and structure identify it as this taxon.   Vega Gull L. vegae, the other suggestion, is very rare in HK, and the structure is not so large and bulky as this. In addition, in the middle of winter it usually has a lot of brownish streaking on the head and neck.   'mongolicus', as it is generally referred to, is probably best regarded as a full species, 'Larus mongolicus'.   As for the dark-backed large gull, it would be helpful to have details of where and when it was photographed (it's obviously not in Asia, and is not any species that we get in HK).   Geoff Logged Richard Bacon Guest Re: Another ID Help Please « Reply #5 on: Feb 3rd, 2004, 4:32am » Quote Modify Remove Hi! There is a caption under the large, black-backed gull saying that it was photographed in New Zealand - in which case, it's probably  L. dominicanus - Kelp/Dominican/Southern Black-backed gull (Karoro in Maori).     Cheers   Richard Bacon, Wellington NZ Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育 => Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
