Observation details
A godwit as determined by large-sized shorebird and long up-curved bill. The brown-tinged gray tone and black on the tail tip rules out the expected Marbled Godwit as well as Bar-tailed Godwit. In flight, the bird had a black tail tip set off with white on the rump and proximal tail. White wing-bars also stood out, upper and under wings. The white supercilium extending behind the eye identifies it as Hudsonian Godwit, ruling out the much less likely Black-tailed Godwit, as well as lack of white underwings.
