Had a diver earlier that I'm not sure about. I saw it in with a group of 6 Red Throated, size was pretty similar but it had a noticably darker overall appearance with much less white in the neck area. It kept swimming around holding its beak pointing a bit upwards like Red Throated do but I don't know if that could just be it mimicing the Red Throated it has mixed in with?
I'm wondering if it's a Black Throated or a 1st year Red Throat that hasn't fully moulted into winter plumage or something?
