Red-legged kittiwake  (Rissa brevirostris)

The red-legged kittiwake is a smallish gull, easily identified by its scarlet coloured legs (2). Adults are largely white in colour but the back and the upperwings are dark grey. The wings have black tips, and the yellow bill is short (3). Juveniles and birds in their first winter have more black feathers on the outer part of the wing, and can appear similar to the immature stages of other species of gulls; they can, however, be distinguished by their solid white tail (3). The only species that adults may be confused with is the black-legged kittiwake, but as the name suggests, it has black legs (2) (3).
