      Transitional plumage. Not sure about age. The overall bright appearance and swimming behavior make this species unmistakable.

      Flying flock. Even though the tail itself is not exactly white, the whole tail-rump party always leaves a white impression.

      Basic plumage. The pale gray-white plumage can if not seen well be confused with both Lesser Yellowlegs and Stilt Sandpiper which both occur here too. The other phalaropes are more contrasting, especially with a stronger blackish mask around the eye. Apparently it isn't that common at sea level in this region, though I suspect that poor coverage rather than real scarcity is the main reason. Few birders at this time of year... I counted around 45 today.

      Winter plumage. One of the app. 45 birds I saw today. They were spread out through the ponds in small groups.

      Basic plumage. It looks like the bird in the middle has a buff colored edge to the tertials, why I ask if it could be a young bird. But perhaps the adult also shows this type of edge, and it in fact is an adult that just hasn't molted yet. Probably so, because I would also expect the juveniles to arrive later.
