what is it?

The red phalarope (called grey phalarope in Europe), Phalaropus fulicarius , is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, migrating mainly on oceanic routes and wintering at sea on tropical oceans.
