Possible adult Vega Gull in Colorado

Larimer County, Colorado (USA)

The large white mirror on the outermost primary, P10, with a small black subterminal band is consistent with Vega, but is also the pattern seen on American Herring Gulls in the western part of their range. I believe this pattern would rule out pure Thayer's Gull (too much black).
