It was a lucky shot in the rain.
Two iNaturtalists and the Gull Watchers group have tag it as a Little Gull. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/47688487 HOWEVER, you make a good arguement for a Franklin's gull - I'm open to changing the ID.

This one looks like a better fit for Franklin's gull to me. Nice capture!
