Media notes
A bird resting on a beach standing on one leg. Videograb. Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: March 21, 2017.
Observation details
IBC scientific name: Charadrius mongolus stegmanni. Told by eBird reviewer Kasia Someya: Another eBirder brought this record to our attention. Usual Mongolian LSPs I know from Japan have the bills much shorter and visibly thicker at the end making them look like they have a droplet of water on their bills. Rather pale looking legs and the longish thin bill point here towards a Greater Sand Plover, common in winter in Okinawa.
