Observation details
First observed perched with multiple DCCO on top of the dam. It was maybe 20% smaller than nearby DCCO and thinner and shorter necked with smaller head and bill. The tail appeared noticably long, longer than DCCO. The lores above the eye were completely dark, different than every other DCCO nearby. The throat was a dull orange and seemed slightly duller than DCCO. When the light was just right, I could make out a thin white line separating the orange from the black on the throat. After watching it for a while, Aaron H showed up and concurred with the ID. While we were watching it, it moved in with the DCCO on the bottom dam apron. Here the smaller, compact size was rather striking. I got multiple photos which I'll post later.
