The shot is of an Aechmophorus indeed!! What a great find.
The photo is not clear but when enlarged it appears the bill is dull greenish
and the dark on the face comes below the eye. The dark on the face and neck
are unusual but I've never seen a young bird of this species but it could be
just a shadow. Most likely a Western but a closer study needed to eliminate
Clark's.
After the split the first Aechmophorus IDed to species was an Amazing Clark's
on Nickajack Lake in March 1993.
Thanks for sharing and congratulations.
Good Birding!!!
