Observation details
Noted at first due to approx. 1/3 smaller size than surrounding DCCO's. Much thinner neck, head and bill and longer tail. Head small and rounded, no bulkiness. Bill thin and pale colored. Appears to be sub-adult bird. Back of bird almost seeming two-toned with some brown and black contrasting. Photos taken, however not much detail can be seen. Watched this bird for about 45 min. however it kept its head tucked most of the time and at other times was actively preening. I was able to get one photo where the thin pale bill is evident. Small size compared to surrounding DCCO's is also evident.
