Sungrebe

Heliornis fulica

Description:

distinct thin white stripe on the side of the head

Habitat:

lake, amazon

Notes:

I spotted this the same night I spotted the moth drinking tears from the ringed kingfisher. This bird was a bit above us and these were the only photos I could manage. Hope it's enough for ID. Note all the bugs flying around it due to our bright light. I felt bad for him, but we only stopped for a second.
