Hallpõsk-pütt, Podiceps grisegena

Hallpõsk-pütt, Podiceps grisegena, Red-necked Grebe, Grey-cheeked Grebe
Maailmas nimetatakse hallpõsk-pütti ka punakael-pütiks kuna hundsulestikus hakkab kohe silma punane kael. Puhkesulestik on linnul peaaegu must-hall-valge, mis sobib rohkem Eestis levinud nimega.
The bird is known as a Grey-cheeked Grebe (also in Estonian) or Red-necked Grebe since during the summer plumage it has a distinctive red neck. Winter feathering is almost black-grey-white, what goes more with name Grey-cheeked Grebe.
