Observation details
Observed in flight over a large open field filled with many Long-billed Curlews. I had originally identified the bird as a curlew (not even considering it might be something else), but several birders having viewed the photograph contacted me to suggest an identification error. A subsequent review with others and the almost unanimous consensus is that the bird is in fact a Whimbrel.
