What type of Gull is this?

After a short trip to the Salton Sea in late May, I came home with several photos of birds.  The pelicans were easy to ID, but this Gull eludes me.  I know it is a Gull, but what type?  There seem to be so many varieties.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

  1. The top photo is of a young California Gull, as are the two in the lower photo. They start life with a darker plumage, which changes as they mature. The closer bird in the lower photo is an adult.
