Unidentified baby water-bird

[RVT1K]

We've had some heavy rains lately and there is a "temporary" pond nearby that fills in.
I saw this little guy swimming around but can not identify it.
Any ideas?

A Great Crested Grebe chick maybe..?

A Great Crested Grebe chick maybe..?

Not in Belize I hope, however I think a Grebe chick sounds right.

People who live by the pond just told me that it is a family of Grebes and, based on my book, it looks like they are the Least Grebe.

This looks very similar to the juvenile Great Crested Grebe.

Young Grebes look nothing like their parents...

Nice shot! Looks very grebeish...
