Durante cabalgata (no era una viaje de observacion) lo halle en pequeña laguna (3 m diam.) en amplia vega a 2.600 m snm. Quieto en el agua, solo me percate que era un ave ya muy cerca (20 m). Luego permitio mayor acercamiento y cuando volo poso cerca, en roca o el prado. Emitia una corta voz aguda. Permaneci en la zona 48 hs y no volvi a verlo alli ni en otra vega mucho mas amplia, a mayor altura. La vincha es exactamente una banda blanca circular completa, algo que no he visto en otra ave.
