Observation details
Juvenile. Plain buffy breast. All black bill about 1x head length with slight decurve. Fine pointed tip. Pale face above bill when viewed head on. Darker crown contrasted with paler plain face. Darker scaly upperparts. The long feathers of the upperparts lifted significantly with breeze. Larger than nearby Pectoral Sandpipers by about 2x. Overall stocky structure with a football-shaped body and a disproportionately small head on a rather short neck. From about 200 yards away, the buffy underparts contrast with the darker upperparts and the head appears to have a dark cap from the contrasting darker crown. Pale face contrasts with the prominent dark eye and bill.
