I think you might want to consider winter Common Loon for this bird, for the
following reasons: white extending from the cheek to above and front of the
eye usually eliminates winter PALO. The white of the throat/neck extends
in a "notch" towards the back of the neck, indicative of COLO. The forehead
shows a sharp bump, typical of COLO, and if present in PALO, normally much
more reduced than this. Bill seems much fuller and heavier than the
straight,
thin bill of PALO, typical of COLO.
