Plumage details carefully noted (split supercilium, bold braces on back, cinnamon edges to wing coverts and tertials); thin straight black bill, black legs with no palmations. Slightly larger than Least Sandpipers, but clearly smaller than Western; slight extension of primaries past tertials, but wingtips did not extend beyond tail tip.
