Observation details
This bird immediately struck me as a bit chunkier than the SBDO it was associating with, had a longer straighter bill, less orange on the flanks and undertail than would be expected for the hendersonii SBDO subspecies we normally see here, and had more barring on the edge of the breast and shoulder than the spotting seen on the adjacent SBDO. Both dowitchers were wading so unfortunately did not get a good comparison of height. Got some decent photos (although in poor lighting), showing both birds with some STSA.
