Observation details

Downward curving bill which is paler on the basal half. Breast pattern cuts off sharply although streaking is not as neat as illustrated in my Australian Bird Guide book. Crown/cap less prominent than in Sharp-tailed Sandpipers. White underneath with no under-tail streaking. Bright yellow legs. Observed in south-east corner of lagoon just before dawn. Low-light photos attached.
