Larus armenicus adult, 18 August 2010, Maagan Michael, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Adult in active complete moult. P2 fully grown, P3 tip just visible, P4 missing, P5-P10 still old (score P2/P5). Note extensive red on the bill and dark iris. Mirror on both P9 and P10. In the far wing, the underside of P10 shows almost no pale innerweb (so, like in michahellis and no white tongue as is obvious in e.g. cachinnans).
