I agree with Alphatauri, the neck of a juvenile grebe is colored and puffily feathered with a shorter beak, so it has to be a loon. (female?)

Never mind, wrong. Sorry for the confusion.

I propose that we also be able to post calls, because they are even harder to ID than pictures

Um, Common Loon, juvenile?

You got it, I think.

Yeah, it looks like that's right.

Paleonaps, care to reply? If not, Alpha can post the next image tomorrow.

Yeah, he did. Sorry, I just got confused.

I think it could be the Red-throated juvenile though.
