A good description, including diagnostic photograph, and a 2nd supporting report leaves no doubt as to the correct identification.

Cliff Weisse -- Accept

Excellent photos and written reports from two observers leave no doubt about the identification of Red Phalarope. I agree with the assertion by Charles Swift that the bird is a male.

Darren Clark -- Accept

The photos alone are diagnostic and the written reports also support the identification of this bird as a Red Phalarope.

Hardy -- Accept

An odd-looking individual, this. Paulson (1993) states that REPH are in breeding plumage by the time they start north in spring migration. Despite the incomplete breeding plumage, this is clearly a REPH based on bill structure and plumage.
