[Maine-birds] Red-throated loon?

Hello birders,

I am fairly certain that I saw a first year spring or juvenile red throated loon in the Belfast Harbor this morning. I was on FootBridge Road approaching the bridge, and this bird was very close to shore (30 feet or so) off to the left facing the town of Belfast. diving, and after two dives It could not relocated. Thin upturned bill and small size, mostly brownish gray on the back, neck and rounded head, inconsistent with red necked grebe. Remarkably small for a loon!  I am hopeful someone else can see it today and confirm the id!  Will try to check again at lunch if work permits!
