Which diver or other please ?

When I saw this bird today, I thought it would be easy to id with the book. Combo of red beak plus red eye. Simple. But no - nothing corresponds. I'm assuming it's in transition from winter to summer appearance. But what is it please ? Apologies for poor quality photo.
