Media notes
SBDO [left] has longer primary projection, whiter belly which almost sits level with the surface of the water compared to the LBDO [right] which stand higher in the same amount of water.
Observation details
Mingled among the LB...ID characteristics: Shorter bill 'Kink" at tip only visible on one, belly sits right at, or only very slightly above the water's surface [very noticeable when beside the LB], longer primary projection, orange neck [heavy spotting], breast with less spotting/barring on flanks/sides, belly/undertail fairly white with some barring on undertail, arched supercillium, more slender with "hump" near base of neck and back flatter when foraging. Tends to lean head/bill forward to forage rather than straight down.
