Observation details
Male on Disposal Flats (tidal flats between Saw Mill Trial and Harrier Meadow) feeding with a large group of yellowlegs; roughly the size of a Greater Yellowlegs, appearing more pot-bellied and small-headed with a short, slightly drooping bill, and bright orange legs; initial backlit views and distance made it hard to see intricate plumage details, but it appeared to be progressing into breeding plumage with dark splotchy feathers on chest down to the belly, distinct long, black/tan striped tertials, rufous tones throughout upperparts and head; in flight noted the white U-shaped rump patch and stark white unpatterned underwing; managed to get some pretty horrendous doc photos.
