| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation letter by Harold L. White is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Another observer was Sallie White. | Elimination of similar species: [...] Unlike the expected American Coot, this coot had a large and circular raised forehead which was yellow. The yellow was restricted to the raised portion. [...] This coot lacked the reddish circular protrusion at the top base of the bill. This coot was otherwise undistinguisable [sic] from the American Coots. |
