Diver - Burghead (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
I was luckily in the Highlands in early May when the White-Billed Diver was present at Burghead, so popped down to see it. Distant but good views.I took a few pictures hoping one or two would come out. I've just been looking through these and come up with a conundrum that I'm sure you can answer.

Picture 1 is the WBD. I thought, when taking Picture 2 this was also the WBD - pictures taken only 3 minutes apart - but suddenly the throat markings have moved from the back of the neck to the front of the neck:eek!: Also, the bird in Picture 2 appears to be slimmer. I can't find any Diver in Collins that matches this. What am I looking at in Picture 2?

Cheers
John

The markings are on the sides of the neck, they just look like they are on the front in the first photo. Both photos are White-billed Diver - don't worry :t:

Thanks Chris. I had thought that it might be a trick of the viewing angle but couldn't figure it out.
