Darren Clark -- Accept

The written description (especially the comments about the pattern on the back, the white forehead, the black mark behind the eye, and the description of the bill) eliminate the other Phalaropes.

Report is somewhat brief (and hard to read!) but describes the species in question sufficiently. The timing is also appropriate for its occurrence.
