Media notes
Here the flattened bill with a slightly expanded, pointed tip shows really well. Note the dusty rose flush at the sides and across the upper breast is much more pronounced than that seen on Red-necked immatures.
Observation details
This was my 4th Red Phalarope for West Tennessee and the 3rd for this location. The complete juvenile plumage of this bird was unique and is rarely ever seen this far south. Photos can be seen here: http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/phalaropes
