My pleasure to help out Antonio. Gulls can be ridiculously hard at times. You took some great images of this one.

Hi Antonio. I hope you don't mind me offering an observation but looking at your images of this gull and for the sake of accuracy, it appears to have a red eye ring and yellow legs which might suggest Yellow legged Gull?
