Not Sure What I'm Looking At

I followed it around for a few minutes. An adult gull, otherwise healthy looking. Not catchable, flies and walks very well with a slight limp. Not sure what this is, considered fishing weight but when examined on the computer, looks organic, not metal or plastic. No sign of any fishing line or hook or anything else entangled. So, maybe cancer, maybe injury that got infected and has ulceration. Maybe benign growth. I have never seen anything like it, have you?

Ring-Billed Gull (Larus delawarensis)
