Herring Gull argenteus would be the expected species. Taken early January in Sussex, UK. Couple of things seemed odd, the bill looks a bit long forward of the gonys, with the dark mark on it, the eye is pretty dark (appears to be an adult?), and the streaking on the head and neck seems quite extensive. The structure generally looks a bit odd to me.
Any comments welcome.
