Observation details

Hatch year bird. Massive and chunky, for a Calidris. Larger and heavier than many Killdeer nearby. Paler upper breast, lacking the more bibbed appearance of congeners. Black primary projection. Anything similar that’s this shape and size has a notably longer bill. Lazy foraging compared to crazy Lesser Yellowlegs nearby. Foraging in the water more so than the mud. Much larger than other peeps on the mud. Sent photos and a bad video to three serious shorebirders that confirmed.
