Larus fuscus fuscus adult, November 26 2010, Ashdod, Israel. Picture Amir Ben Dov.
Outer primaries P7-P10 present, P6 missing, P5 fully grown. Obvious moult in the wing-coverts, with outer gc missing, exposing the secondaries underneath. Mirror on P10. Old secondaries of adult-type, so probably an adult bird.
