Seen today at the Kanaha Ponds. A GTTA was observed over several days and photographed a few weeks ago at a water filtration plant just a couple hundred metres away.
Note the supercilium extending beyond the eyes and nearly meeting at the base of the bill. This bird was slightly lighter than all other WATA present, but is still slightly dirtier than what I'd expect with GTTA. Unfortunately the bird was completely silent.
