Observation details
medium-large football shaped shorebird w/ long curved bill. Photos available from team member; Originally the team thought this was a Whimbrel based on size, shorter bill, striping on head, color at base of lower mandible; appeared to be toward the end of "fresh adult" stage, approaching "worn adult". There seems to be overlap here, but ultimately striping on crown not distinct enough, and bill size too long for a Whimbrel. Also, note subtle spoon-like shape to tip of upper mandible, something not present in Whimbrel.
