Thanks for the ID Help! American Herring Gull

High Mountains 8500 ft. 11 Mile reservoir, Park County, Colorado.

Look carefully at the back round, the small black spots are gigantic mosquito's, a few seconds after I took the photo we had to literally run for shelter....like an Alfred Hitchcock film!
