Observation details

Unexpected as I was scanning for Solitary Sandpiper. The longish bill with a noticeable droop at the tip caught my eye, especially on such a short-legged bird. The upperparts were a dirty, even brown with no XX [breeding]. Streaking across the chest was moderately thick and not a simple grey wash. A few black feathers and one small patch were conspicuous in the white belly. Legs dark to black.
