Observation details
Seen resting with Pied-billed Grebes. Difficult ID, but I studied the bird for close to an hour, most of the time at close range. It was in basic plumage, or nearly so, with black and white pattern similar to Horned Grebe but more dusky on neck and around auricular. The forehead was at all times somewhat higher and rounder than I would expect on Horned Grebe. The bill was small and slightly upturned, lacking a visible pale tip. The bird appeared considerably smaller than Pied-billed Grebe at all times.
