    Its face is a little dark I was shooting into the sun I could use recovery and a little Fill light in Lightroom, but I dont have it on my laptop. I think this one is a Pied Billed Grebe.

    No there eyes are black The ones I photographed are called Pied Billed Grebe there are quite a few different types of Grebes. These guys are so tiny they are the size of large baby ducks they can fit in the palm of your hand.
