Josefine in winter plumage

Portrait of an adult herring gull in winter plumage, zoonmed in on her face. She has a lot of brown/gray stripes, which makes her face look kind of dark. Her beak is on the small side for a herring gull, and has a faded orange/yellow color. Her eyes are yellow, with few very specks on the iris. In front of her is a larger herring gull, completely out of focus. The background are out of focus buildings, creating a blurry gradient.

Josefine and Gulliver already looked very different from eachother, Gulliver is much larger and has a bigger beak for example, but their winter plumage makes them even more distinct.

Gulliver has few thin brown stripes on his face, but Josefine's head is filled with them. Their head pattern during winter seems to be the same (or similar) each year as well, from what I can tell based on old pictures.
