Notes: A flap (or 'tap') is a vastly shortened allophone of the parent phoneme -- /d/ in this case. The flap /d_(/ may show a minimal burst, or perhaps only a short stop or a dropoff in energy.
A typical /d_(/ may look like:
Speaker: Tim Carmell
Word: the /d_(/ section of the word "idiots"
Speaker: Tim Carmell
Word: the /d_(/ section of the word "rider"
