Apologies for the low quality photo, but this little guy caught me without the long lens and the light was dimming at sundown. I think this is a grebe of some kind, but not at all sure about that, and if it is, I have no idea what kind of grebe. Is there enough detail in the photo for an ID?

Juv Pied-billed. It's the only grebe that you'll get in N. America with a bill that shape, and those proportions.
