 Sometime after 2 p.m. I was able to find a Common Gull mixed in mostly with Iceland and Ring-billed Gulls at Sullivan's Pond Dartmouth. After being spooked by something unknown, about 20 minutes later as gulls returned, I spotted what may have been a different one going by the wing-tip pattern and amount of subtle winter head streaking that I see in my photos, which were taken at a greater distance. Very subtle winter mark on the bills of both gulls, compared to adult Ring-billed Gulls, if indeed they were two different individuals. Here are photos from the first initial sighting before being scared off:
