I believe this specimen was re-examined recently and determined that
it is not a Thayer's Gull.

A Specimen of Thayer's Gull from New Jersey. -- A specimen of Larus thayeri
in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences was taken by Mr. Samuel
N. Rhoads at Mr. Ephraim, N. J. near the Delaware River, March 9, 1888. It
had long passed as a Herring Gull until a recent examination of the
specimens of this species by Dr. H. C. Oberholser brought out its true
relationship. -- WITMER STONE, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
Auk: 41(2): April-June 1924: 337
