Media notes
One bad photograph obtained immediately before the bird flushed with other Tringa.
Observation details
A small brown Tringa seen with Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, appearing obviously smaller than immediately adjacent Lesser Yellowlegs. Brown back with faint white speckling, throat and chest brown with paler streaks. White eye-ring obvious when bird turned its head in spotting scope view. Black bars on white outer tail feathers with dark brown central tail seen as the bird flushed. One digiscoped photo (above) that wasn't a blurry disaster but also shows almost no identifying features aside from "small brown shorebird." As I was retrieving my DSLR the entire flock flushed south and we could not relocate the bird. Observed at ca. 50 meters with 32x Leica Scope and 8x42 Nikon binoculars.
