Observation details
This bird was by itself (almost all of the other phalaropes today were in small groups). In the field, it gave the impression of being larger and bulkier than the other phalaropes encountered during the morning, with pale unstreaked back. In the photos, the bill is thicker and less pointed than the bills of the other phalaropes seen today, but doesn't show a clear pale base as would be normally expected for this species. In flight, the rump is less clearly marked than would be normal for Red-necked Phalarope, and the wings are paler.
