This is probably a yuvenile or maybe a winter plumage.  The last image was actually the first. I was trapped behind a table when the Phalarope came and alarmed everyone.  And everyone started shooting. But did not care to move away for the rest of us at the table to see something. Luckily this bird came back at a later moment. When lunch was eaten and done with. Nice bird, but not nice birders. :(  This was just a lucky shot between two people.  But in the end I got some shots and was quite pleased anyway. It was a lifer to me. :)

A bird  rarely see and thus have a hard time recognizing. Have to trust my comrades.
