Day 95 of #JRBPVirtualTour! The #piedbilledgrebe (#Podilymbus #podiceps) is a species of the #grebe family of #waterbirds. Since the #Atitlángrebe has become extinct, it is the sole extant member of the genus #Podilymbus Pics by Peter Hart

The binomial name is derived from Latin #Podilymbus, a contraction of #podicipes ("feet at the buttocks", from podici-, "rump-" + pes, "foot")—the origin of the name of the #grebe order & Ancient Greek #kolymbos, "diver", and podiceps, "rump-headed", from podici- + New Latin ceps
