Hi all,
I agree that this looks like a Red Phalarope. The back of a Red-necked is
(in my experience) much more patterned, and this bird looks too stocky
(neck, body and bill) for a Wilson's or Red-necked.
For a side-by-side comparison of a similarly plumaged Red vs. Wilson's
Phalarope, see the last in the series on this page: http://bit.ly/ch9vWp.
The black stripe on the back of the neck matches up well, too (don't know if
that is diagnostic).
Nice photos, Susan!
regards,
Andrew
