That looks like a Ring-billed Gull (Larus Delawarensis), actually, not a Herring Gull. Ring-billed Gulls have yellow feed and a black ring around their bills while Herring Gulls have a red mark on their beak and pink feet. Herring gulls are also bigger than ring-bills.

Juveniles are a little different, but this looks like a non-breeding adult ring-billed gull.

You're absolutely right--it's a Ring-billed Gull, and thanks so much for taking the time to correct my misidentification.

No problem. I once made the same exact mistake myself, actually.

Very good capture. I like the use of DoF and framing. ^_^
