Gull nestling from Norway (1 Viewer)

[JayFeatherPL]

Northern Norway, 6th of August, habitat: a wild beach. I think it's a nestling of a european herring gull. It came to me of its own volition and then it came back to the adults. And by the way I've got an extra question: Are you able to ID juvenile/immature gulls?
Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hello,

what a cute video of this Gull, tfs!

The choice is between Herring Gull, Greater and Lesser Black backed Gull by location.

Common Gull has weaker bill and different structure, same applies to a Black headed Gull. https://www.ridibundus.gull-research.org/1cyridibundus/images/1cyJune0014.jpg
LBBG should have narrower, if present, white edges to the tertials (pattern can be judged despite feathers are still growing).
And shouldnt Common Gull have dark legs? https://gull-research.org/canus/imagecanus/canus2230.jpg

And when the young bird came back to an adult Herring Gull, than it most probably is this species (although I have once seen juvenile older YLG begging towards adult Herring Gulls on the Baltic Coast).
But I cant exclude a GBBG here, although such a broad, solid unbroken tailband isnt good for this and better for a Herring Gull

Here is an older juvenile Yellow legged Gull for comparison (Schwetzinger Wiesen, SW-Germany, 28.07.2024)
