Awk.

While I was walking to the metro this morning, I saw the most astonishing person.

She was a woman, on the hefty side of plump, wearing a big white down duffle coat.

The look could have almost succeeded as "snowball" except that she was wearing the coat half unzipped, showing off a black turtleneck sweater, and on her legs were orange gumboots.

If you're thinking "seagull", you're dead on.

I was raised not to stare at strangers, but this one was difficult.
