Observation details

I saw this sandpiper with a long, slender appearance and noticed that its wingtips extended beyond the tip of the tail. My initial impression was Baird's based on previous observations of that species. I had no experience with White-rumped prior to this observation. It was backlit at the time, but when I later examined images I noticed that, unlike Baird's, this one had streaking into the flanks, some fine streaking in the undertail, and lighter coloring at the base of the lower mandible.
