On looking at my photos of the phalaropes at Truax Pond, it appears that one is 
a Wilson and one is a Red-necked.  There is an obvious difference in size.  The 
larger one has the black stripe up the side of the neck and head with white 
over the crown of the head.  The smaller one has red around the back of the 
neck and the entire head is dark, no white.  In addition to the white-rumped 
sandpipers, there was also a spotted and a least sandpiper.
