caption: The image shows a red-necked grebe podiceps cristatus, commonly known as a red necked tadpole, swimming in the water. It has a black head and neck, a brown body, and a white patch on its chest. Its wings are spread out and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. Its eyes are dark and its legs are tucked in close to its body as it gracefully glides through the water's surface.
