Observation details
**rare; fairly drab male in with dowitchers. Spotted on incoming tide to east of island; roosting on upper flats with dowitchers before being flushed off by increasing water depth. After leaving this area, not seen again despite 3 hours of looking through thousands of birds at high tide roosts. Dowitcher-sized shorebird, originally picked out by bold golden spotting on upperparts. Orange legs, mid-length drooping red-based bill, tawny face and neck. Not a color morph I’d seen before. In flight, broad wings and classic white V uppertail coverts around dark feathers of lower back. Photographed.
