Hope folks can get up to check this out!

A cautionary note: the underwing of sub-adult Little Gulls is much paler
than that of adult birds, actually about the same color as Ross's although
they are fairly obviously marked (head, upperwing "W") and would not appear
uniformly pale gray. Andy also doesn't mention the obvious very long-winged
look of Ross's compared to the shorter broader wings of Little, but this
might have not registered with him.

Too bad this didn't get out earlier yesterday but hopefully the bird is
still around.
