Was convinced this was a Great Black-backed Gull based on size when viewed close up and through binocs but ebird kept rejecting it labeling it as a Lesser Black-backed gull. Note the pinkish legs which should ID it as a Great. What do you think?

I would go with Great BBG as well. Black back and red legs. Sometimes you just have to override eBird if you know you’re right.
