The image shows a small bird standing in shallow water. The bird is a red-necked phalarope, also known as a wading bird. It has a black head and neck, with a white underbelly and a black beak. The body of the bird is predominantly white with brown and black stripes on its wings and tail. It is standing on the edge of the water, with its reflection visible in the water below. The water is surrounded by small rocks and green algae. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wetland or marshy area.
