Unknown bird feather???

Question

While at the beach today I found a feather but i wasn't sure of which bird it belonged to. I automatically assumed it was a seagull since their so common in NE especially near the coast but the pattern on the feather is different than that of the gulls that I most commonly see at the beach everyday. Here are a few photos....
