Red-necked Phalarope

The red-necked phalarope, also known as the northern phalarope, is a small wader about 18 cm long, with lobed toes and a straight, fine bill. It breeds in the Arctic of North America and Eurasia and is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, winters at sea on tropical oceans. The breeding female is dark grey above with a chestnut neck and upper breast, black face and white throat, and a white wing stripe helps separate it from Wilson's phalarope (Wikipedia, general species account).

The name comes from Greek words for coot and foot, since coots and phalaropes both have lobed toes. It has no subspecies (Wikipedia, general species account).
