Brian Morin: It's a young Herring Gull. Young birds are always a challenge and the two species (Lesser Black-backed and Herring) aren't that far apart at this stage of life. The Herring is larger so a size comparison helps. Glaucous-winged Gulls are a West Coast species.
BobTour: your help in this identification is very helpfull it's a first for me to see and photographe

Here an adult of the European subspecies (or maybe a distinct species) of the Herring Gull (argentatus). It looks very much the same as the American Herring Gull!

Beauharnois, QC.
These young Herring Gulls still had down along the back of their necks and were too young to know enough to run away from a photographer.
