definately an anhinga - native American translations means 'Snake bird" because of the way they cut through the water - cool shot

Yes, this is an anhinga. The back markings are sure. That is a female you have there. Very nice photo.

I'm not familiar with this bird up here. That's some spectacular plumage and a great scene and shot!
