very amateur
I suspected cormorant due to the size and the fact that when it swam its long neck* was very visible but its body appeared to be >80% underwater. I cannot find any bird at all on Cornell's allaboutbirds site that seems to match this bird, however (and I still haven't bought a Sibley's).
Can anyone ID this bird?
As always, your help is very much appreciated.
* The neck in the photo is maybe 75% of its maximum length that I was able to observe.

EDIT: The only cormorants listed in my Texas list are Neotropic and Double-Crested and both are pretty black ... but this bill looks very cormorant-y to me.
