Observation details
Came into mixed shorebird flock calls we were playing near our shorebird nets, circled a few times and then landed right in front of the nets for 2-3 minutes before joining a flock of BBPL deeper in the marsh. Initially we assumed they were dowitchers (you know, what other orange shorebird would you expect to see at an inland marsh?) but as they circled and landed we realized they were something much more exciting. Bright orange football shaped Calidrids with a medium length slightly decurved bill. Slightly smaller than BBPL. Managed to get a digiscope before they took off.
