It’s a tie between 15 and 12. And then on a descending order of preference. In fact, I don’t really care about 6, 10, and 16. The pose on #15 has a very nice head angle which makes the connection with the viewers. The #12 is a really nice preening shot though. So, I guess they are completely two different “behaviors”.

It shows the action of preening and the need for preening; the face, bill and eye are sharp; the posture is interesting with the tail in front of the legs; both feet show perhaps suggesting the gull was balancing on its feet and tail to get the big preening job done.
