John Vanderpoel sent my photos to Jon Dunn who says the following: "Juvenile Red-necked Phalarope on plumage. Full juvenal plumaged Red Phalaropes are extremely unusual in lower 48, nearly always molting. This one is in full juvenal plumage and fits Red-necked well, and the date is good too."
So that settles that!
