Adults similar to L. g. glaucoides but wing tips more or less smudged with greys or greyish browns (extent of dark markings and their intensity varies greatly: extremes vary from immaculate-white primary tips as in glaucoides to slaty black as dark as in some thayeri). 1, record 1, English, - Kumlien%27s%20gull

Larus glaucoides kumlieni Brewster (Goéland de Kumlien) est une forme très variable : très peu d'individus sont identiques. Cette sous-espèce est intermédiaire entre L. g. glaucoides et L. g. thayeri. Adulte : semblable à L. g. glaucoides, mais bout des ailes plus ou moins tacheté de gris ou de brun grisâtre (ces marques foncées varient d'un oiseau à l'autre quant à leur étendue et à leur intensité; chez certains, le bout des primaires peut être blanc immaculé comme chez glaucoides, alors que chez d'autres, il est de couleur noir ardoise, comme chez quelques individus thayeri) [...] 2, record 1, French, - go%C3%A9land%20de%20Kumlien
