Can anyone identify this bird?
Found in the Netherlands

you really don't recognize a goddamn seagull?
>>
>>2032548
Ain't look like no seagull to me, unless you're telling me this is a male/female bird or some shit.

Not even orange beak bruh.
>>
>>2032549
it's a juvenile Larus argentatus.

Didn't think it would be juvenile because it was looking like a rather large bird. (Way larger than a pidgeon)
>>
Made a short gif for y'all, thanks again
>>
>>2032556
probably because it's a large species of seagull.

they're extremely common in the netherlands.

I prefer calling them dumpster ducks.
>>
>>2032558
They're really common in western Sweden, too. I'm surprised that English doesn't have a good common name for it.

seagull.

Obvious answer: Young seagull. Young gulls are relatively brown compared to adults and it takes most species 3 or 4 years to grow in all their adult feathers and have their beaks, legs, and sometimes eyes change color.

Specific answer?
Probably a Lesser Black-backed Gull. They're super common in northern Europe, it's paler overall than most young gulls, and the shape of the head, bill, and body seem to fit that species better than other gulls. That said, young gulls are really goddamn hard to identify because they all look kind of like that.

Also, birds grow ridiculously fast compared to mammals. Just about every species that can fly has to be full size before they're capable of leaving the nest.

Hey my kind of thread.

they aren't all that common here, and they're relatively small.

Normally I'd just ignore this, but I've taken a real dislike to you and your attitude, and I'm an autistic birder. So by the power of 10 seconds on Google, here's a bunch of things negating everything you've just said.

>aren't all that common here
"A familiar and abundant inhabitant of the European coastline"
http://www.arkive.org/lesser-black-backed-gull/larus-fuscus/

"The Lesser Black-backed Gull breeds from the central-north of Russia, around Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and northern United Kingdom to Iceland"
http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=3231

>relatively small
"Medium to Large gull"
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Lesser_Black-backed_Gull/id

"medium-sized gull species"
http://www.arkive.org/lesser-black-backed-gull/larus-fuscus/

>comparison to OP's gif
Average body length: 21 inches (53.34 centimeters)
Average body length of pigeons: 12 inches (30.48 centimeters)
From The Sibley Guide to Birds

Photo of a young Lesser Black-backed Gull that's super-similar to OP's pic:

Additional photos of young birds from lots of gull species that illustrate the differences in the shapes of their bodies, heads, and bills:

Thank you, come again.
