Detalhes da observação

Seems like this is pretty rare, so I did my best to get digibins (no camera or scope). Phalarope with several bold light stripes on dark back. Faded buff patch extending from behind the eye, down the back of the neck. White chin but dark neck. Bill not quite as thin as Wilson’s, which should also have a white throat and would lack the clear stripes on the back. Red should have a shorter, heavier bill, and more reddish coloring (even a juvenile). An adult red would have stripes on the back but is precluded by the lack of red and different head pattern. Saw it with leasts, right next to the road (24.7590534, -80.9593295). Edit: just saw that this bird was already reported by Jess Thorning and William Buzzard earlier today.
