Linda--I also saw a gull like you describe along Port Mahon Road a year ago 
May.  It had me puzzled as well.  My first thought was Iceland Gull, but the 
bird guides didn't support that guess.  I finally decided it was probably a 
partially albino, sub-adult Ring-billed Gull lacking black wing tips and 
tail, but I'm not a gull expert.

Hopefully, others more knowledgeable will comment.
