Observation details

Plain-faced and plain breast with buffy coloration. Thin bill with pulled-taffy look at base. Prominent large black eye in smallish head. Uppers rather plain in flight, underwing coverts white with small, thin black crescent at "wrist". Medium-length yellow legs. Almost plover-like feeding habit, loosely associating with a Pectoral Sandpiper. Foraging in upper mud, pickleweed, and dry areas. Poor digiscoped photos to be added.
