Media notes
This high-cropped image allows a closer view of the species' distinctive convergence of long white uppertail converts very near the tip of the tail. It is cropped from image ML170452401, which shows it foraging with head partly submerged.
Observation details
This shows a detail distinctive for this species, the convergence of long white uppertail coverts close to tail-tip. Plumage details and leg color are compatible with female breeding condition. (Females are late migrants; far later than males.) This species often is seen, as here, with head partially underwater while foraging. No aggression toward other nearby species was seen or shown in my photos of this Ruff.
