      • Omissus (Larus argentatus omissus) is a variant of European herring gull. It is largely similar to a common herring gull, but unlike the common species, it has yellow legs.
      There is very little research and documentation about the omissus variant, some authors believe that it may be a species of its own.
      Omissus can be confused with the Yellow-legged gull, but the omissus does not have as distinctly bright yellow legs as the yellow-legged gull.
      Omissus was first described in 1928 by the Russian ornithologist Theodor Pleske
