Judging by the field guides, I'm inclined to say it's a Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis in non-breeding plumage. It's the right size and in the right habitat, but it seems unlikely (though not impossible) judging by the distribution map.
It fits the field guide's description "buoyant on water, between long dives" and I have not heard it make a noise.
I would appreciate a second opinion before I put Black-necked Grebe on my species list for the area.
