Бывает ли у круглоносого плавунчика такая серая спина?

I believe yes , assuming that this might be an individual starting to moult into winter plumage

Thank you Bassel. This bird was only one with a grey back in the flock of hundreds brownish-backed phalaropes. I was surprised to see it on my pictures. And I wondered whether it could be a red phalarope. But red phalaropes should be obviously bigger then red-neckeds.
