2009-05-29 Parque el Cedazo (Aguascalientes), Mexico Subspecies: brachypterus Adult in alternate plumage. The yellow eye is characteristic among the grebes, and makes any confusion with Pied-billed Grebe unlikely - the two are often seen together, at least outside the breeding season. |

2013-03-25 Las Hadas Golf Course (Manzanillo), Mexico Subspecies: brachypterus Adult. The bill looks rather, but otherwise the bird looks as if in a basic plumage. According the BNA (Birds of North America) the alternate plumage is a result of wear rather than caused by molt. |
