Observation details
Medium-large shorebird with long orangey-yellow legs. Had a distinctive bill that appeard to droop slightly, although the top edge (culmen) was fairly straight. Bill had a fairly strong taper, and a heavy base. Outer half of the bill was dark (blackish brown), and the inner half was reddish orange, although the color division was not sharp. There was a whitish area on the front of the face where the bill attached, and a split white eye-ring. The underparts were mostly whitish, with a bit of dark mottling (including a few dark feathers). The scapulars were large and oval-shaped, with darkish centers and pale perimeters. The tertials were broadly barred. Photos available at: http://www.pbase.com/trschultz/ruff_4213_dodgeco
