Very similar to the Eurasian Coot, so much so that they can be confused from a distance and in winter, since positive identification is carried out thanks to a pair of very striking red protuberances on the forehead, these apparent little horns only appear this way during reproduction. Another differentiating factor is the frontal shield, an area of the forehead, which is narrow and ends in a bluish-white cusp, while in case of the Eurasian coot it is white, wider and has a feathered wedge that tends to separate the shield from the beak.\u00a0 The silhouette of the neck and head also helps to identify them, while the Eurasian coot\u2019s is rounded and more reminiscent of the upper part of the letter “s”, the Red-knobbed coot\u2019s is straighter and has a more angular finish to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1201,"template":"","families":[34],"places":[15,2],"affinity_group":[35],"class_list":["post-938","birds","type-birds","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","families-ralliidae","places-la-gravera","places-salinas-nuevas","affinity_group-coots-and-similars"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
