Many Herring gulls. Two lesser black-backed gulls were seen here by other birders. Wondering if they’re in any of these photos.

Bird on left besides the adult and first winter Herring appears similar size so my first toughts were 1 st winter Lesser Black-backed Gull.
However bill looks larger and shorter.

Originally thought Dun (seemed really dark) but now I'm seeing colours and pattern that perhaps are tawny-edged?

Trying to distinguish tundra from trumpeter, input appreciated

I thought Indian Skipper, possibly the same one I photographed in the same area, but iNat suggests Tawny-edged which was also around Marlborough.

When it flew by me it was noticeably orange in flight. I saw where it landed and tracked it down for this photo.
