Wow, yet another for this gull whisperer! It's definitely not a first-winter bird, based on the non-juv primaries.
I think brachyrhynchus might be more likely than canus to show so much black in the tail and this degree of intrusion of pale along the inner web of primary 8 in second-winter. The bird is tiny and thus not a candidate for Kamchatka.
