A female Wilson's Phalarope standing in calm water. The bird is facing to the right, slightly angled toward the photographer, it's image reflected in the water. The bird is a slender shorebird with a white belly. The neck is a light rusty red color, becoming a deeper rust color on the back of the neck. The back and wings are a deep rusty red with gray markings. The bird has a long, slender black bill. A black line extends from the bill to the back of the head. Its crown is gray.
