Observation details
Foraging within group of banded dotterel and very close to sharp-tailed sandpiper. Much more slender and compact than the banded dotterels. Yellowish legs and clean breast bib, as well as slight two tone bill helped distinguish from sharp-tailed. Took me a while with both the observations made in the field and photographs I’d taken to feel more confident about the ID. Further discussion with Pat Crowe and Phil Battley helped to confirm these two. Two new lifers for me so very happy!
