A Wilson's Phalarope in non-breeding colors, lifted the exposure, white balance, a little sharpening and noise reduction, white point and black point adjusting, lift shadows and reduce highlights, no crop, removed a feather that was in the background.

No catch or it was consumed before the bird came up from the plunge.
This bird is normally found swimming on the water picking of insects at of a little below the surface. They will often do a dervish to stir up food. This one was the only one around and was flocking with Least, Western, Baird's and Pectoral Sandpipers.
