Observation details
Alternate-plumage male. As soon as I realized what it was (or at least thought it was), I called out to Andrew Baksh, with whom I’d been chatting just a few minutes earlier and who was still not too far away. Observed and tracked around the flats during low tide, over the ensuing 2 hours. Most of the time the bird associated with a small flock of Semipalmated Sandpipers, though it occasionally strayed off by itself. Separated from alternate plumage Sanderling mostly by size relative to SESA, and from alt. Little Stint by dark underpart markings being mostly outside (below) the rusty breast as opposed to within/overlaying it. Also by white feathers restricted to the chin and not extending to the throat.
