Compared to Red-necked Phalarope (below), Red is a larger, bulkier bird with a shorter, stout bill (pale base to lower mandible as close range). The gray color of basic-plumaged birds (left) is paler than Red-necked, and the white wingstripe broader. In spring, we see a variety of plumages from full basic to full alternate; the one shown to the right is showing much body molt. |
