I know it is quite late for this particular bird, but I honestly can not
fathom it being anything else.
Bird was similar in size to the nearby Piedbills, so too large for a Least, and
too small for a Horned.
Bird was wet from diving, but the head was all dark except for what appeared to
be some lighter colored individual feathers behind the eye and ear region. a
bit of flash of longer feathers at one point when it was preening but lost that
when it dived again shortly.
The eye appeared to be red, but I only got a quick look before it dived and
then came up too far away in the pond for me get another look.
Bird was on the right side of the bridge when I first approached to observatory
pond around 5:00 pm.
