Phalarope Species Confirmation - Northern Pakistan (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
These images were captured back in 28 September 2020 in Northern Pakistan at Borith Lake (36°25'48.534" N 74°51'48.707" E). As Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) is somewhat common in the area during the passage season, so I marked them as so and moved on. But few days back I posted an image on facebook and someone pointed that this must be Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius), quite rare for the region. Lookin forward for confirmation, though I already see the thicker bill and coloration, but second opinion and additional pointers are always welcome.
