Observation details
Immature male with a poorly circumscribed white ring around both eyes and white mottling on the face at the base of the bill and on either side of the head, but not over the crown. He was swimming close to an adult female, both dabbling and she silent while he repeatedly uttered a quiet, soft double groaning call, extending his head upwards with each call.
