The White-tufted Grebe's eyes are deep red and marbled with black, a detail these images bring out clearly.
While diving after fish and invertebrates, grebes can partially close their nostrils to keep water out, letting them hunt fully submerged.
This bird was photographed at Humedal de Batuco in Chile.

In 1989, legendary Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki personally organized a wrestling event in Iraq to entice Saddam to free 41 captive Japanese nationals, which somehow actually WORKED, leading to 36 of the Japanese nationals being freed.
Whilst on this trip, he converted to Shia Islam during a pilgrimage to Karbala, the Shiite holy city in Iraq, and subsequently undertook the new name Muhammad Hussain Inoki.
He was Japanese but spent much of his youth growing up in Brazil, was heavily involved in Japanese politics as an older man, opened a wrestling themed restaurant in Shinjuku and once spent the entirety of a fight with Muhammad Ali on the floor, where he simply kicked at Ali so that he was unable to get too close.
Ali only landed two punches across the entirety of the fight and people were not happy. To be fair to Inoki, he only did this because at the last minute he was disallowed to wrestle during the match and so was arguably left with little other choice.
