Need help on ID. Saw these two gulls in El Retiro Park in March 2022. Less black backed?

Hello,
the second one certainly is a 3 cy LBBG= I can iD it as such.

The first one is much more difficult for me. Its either a 2cy LBBG or a 2cy Yellow Legged Gull. The darkness and hue of the back seems better for LBBG, but better wait for confirmation/correction.
Do you have more pictures?
 
These are other shots on same bird. Thanks for the help!
