Hoary-headed Grebe Poliocephalus poliocephalus
Description
The Hoary-headed Grebe is a small stocky grebe. This grebe has a darkish grey and white plumage, an inconspicuous brown iris, a square black 'chin', and breeding adults develop a white streaking over their entire head (hence the name). There is a diagnositic narrow black streak down the nape of the neck. Juveniles have a striped face, white chin and throat, and a mottled brown and white hindneck. This species is also known as the Dabchick, Hoary-headed Dabchick and Tom Pudding.
