Documentation for this record includes excellent written descriptions and a good photo that verifies field marks included in description.

Good supporting details and photos. I also saw this bird (it was the year I moved to Idaho). I wonder if anyone is going to speculate as to what race of "Balck" Brant this is??

I don't know what other species this could be confused with. I agree that the white-tipped coverts indicate this is a subadult. The high collar and muddy belly color are compatible with B. b. nigricans; description in Svingen's report more definitive than photo.
