Heuglini sometimes called Baltic Gull (I think) but I could be wrong it might be of course Amerimicus, Cachinnans, Barabensis or even Taimyrensis. It certainly is not Fuscus of which I have put a picture for comparison below, however it is closely related to the later - the only help you get - Both pictures taken today

Large Gulls

I think it fair to say that the complexity of the Large Gulls wintering in the Middle East is confusing despite the fact that many field guides have now been updated and do contain more information.
I don't personally watch gulls and have not been on a photographic mission to the dump for several years. It will take me some time to identify the forms seen so in the mean time try your hand at Identifying them yourself.
