Observation details
Large shorebird with erect stance. While looking for a lek of Buff-breasted Sandpipers in the area, we saw one, and then two. Fairly heavy body but a very noticeable small head in relation to the overall proportions of the bird. Lots of scales on the upperparts as well as a tan coloration to the neck and breast. Have seen and photographed this species on numerous occasions.
