Pied-billed grebe
The pied-billed grebe (''Podilymbus podiceps'') is a species of the grebe family of water birds. Since the Atitlán grebe (''Podilymbus gigas'') has become extinct, it is the sole extant member of the genus ''Podilymbus''. The pied-billed grebe is primarily found in ponds throughout the Americas.〔 Other names of this grebe include American dabchick, dabchick, Carolina grebe, devil-diver, dive-dapper, dipper, hell-diver, pied-billed dabchick, pied-bill, thick-billed grebe, and water witch.〔
==Taxonomy and name==
The pied-billed grebe was described by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' in 1758 as ''Colymbus podiceps''. The binomial name is derived from Latin ''Podilymbus'', a contraction of ''podicipes'' ("feet at the buttocks", from ''podici-'', "rump-" + ''pes'', "foot")—the origin of the name of the grebe order—and Ancient Greek ''kolymbos'', "diver", and ''podiceps'', "rump-headed", from ''podici-'' + New Latin ''ceps''.〔Cabard P. and Chauvet B. (2003). ''Etymologie des noms d'oiseaux'' Belin Eveil éditeur, France ISBN 2-7011-3783-7〕
Outside its own genus, the closest relatives of the pied-billed grebe are the small grebes of the genus ''Tachybaptus''.
