Only 1st winter birds show the terminal band as far as I'm aware. Nonbreeding adults have clean tails: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5046/56... http://www.kolkatabirds.com/gujarat/b... http://www.galleryofbirds.com/Thailan... As far as color goes, I'm not sure it would be a reliable field mark, given the feet are in the shadows.

Brown-headed gull would have red feet and a dark band on the tail.

Black-headed Gulls (conveniently) show white on the two outer primaries. This bird may be a Brown-headed Gull.
