Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)
Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata)
Can only be confused with other phalaropes, due to swimming behaviour. Juveniles and winter plumage birds can be mistaken for Red Phalarope, but bill is much more needle-like and neck and body more slender. Juvenile birds with prominent buff stripes on back, and first winter birds with dark fore-crown (see Red Phalarope). Adult winter with white stripes on back, as opposed to Red Phalarope's uniformly grey back.
Sound:Short and sharp "teck", sometimes repeated to form trilling series. Also a mewing, nasal "veeoo".
