This is the only phalarope that my wife and I saw in today's 8:15am boattrip from Aberdeen to Po Toi. My wife felt that it looked a bit heavier than usual red-necked phalarope but initially I did not pay too much attention to it except trying out our camera.
After reviewing 3 photos that we took, we feel that its bill looks a bit thick and most importantly, some orange color in its breast and abdomen feather. We compared it to our red-necked phalarope photos taken in late April in last 2 years and they didn't look quite like this.
We feel that it is likely a red phalarope 灰瓣蹼鷸？Please kindly comment!
