At first I thought this was a ring-billed gull, but the pink legs lead me to believe it's actually a herring gull.

Difficult to ID. You are likely correct. sub-adults can have a variety of colorations and markings.

Difficult to ID this one. Size is a good indicator.

I'm no expert on IDing gulls but when looking up in my Stokes Field Guide to Birds it could still be a Ring-Billed Gull - it says Immature 1st year has pink legs. Maybe someone else can help to confirm which it really is. Still - it is a very nice shot!
