Perhaps this is a Steppe Gull L. f. barabensis ?

sory,海鸥 Mew Gull Larus canus .

Mongolian Gull (Larus mongolicus), more precisely Vega Gull (Larus vegae): the back and wings are rather dark, at the ends of the wings are many large white spots; on its bill is a red spot (which means it is definitely not a Mew Gull)

Thank you for Andrew Bazdyrev

我忽略了嘴端的红色斑,确实不可能是海鸥。但这只鸥的嘴感觉又短又弱,嘴尖端也缺乏弧度。

Pink legs are also a sign of the Mongolian Gull / Vega. In adult Mew Gull, they are greenish-yellow.
