Observation details
***rare, nice find by Phil Brown earlier In close to the end of the pier when I arrived, drifted off to the right before being flushed by a fishing boat about 15 minutes later. Wasn't quite as obvious as I expected, although distinct enough at close range and when anywhere near a Common for comparison. All dark above, with some slight checkerboard patterning on back. Smooth sides of neck. Hint of a chin strap, did not meet in middle. Bill fairly small. Nape appeared very slightly paler (or browner). Couple more photos including 2 flight shots:
