Gull in the Pastel Sky

The soft pastel sky was the first thing that caught my eye in this image. The bird’s dark silhouette stands out cleanly against the gentle colors — a gull in flight, likely a ring‑billed gull.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

I have become quite good at identifying adult gulls in their final plumage. Young gulls are difficult:

I am totally unsure about the identification of this gull.
It could be a juvenile #HerringGull (#Silbermöwe) but something doesn't seem right. It could also be a juvenile #CommonGull (#Sturmmöwe).
Most likely it looks like a juvenile #RingBilledGull (Ringschnabelmöwe) to me. But that would be a sensation here in the area. That's why this is totally unlikely.

Any real gull experts here?
