Observation details
Juvenile. Plover size bird with extremely long primaries. Long bill that's very broad at the base. Prominent eyebrows protruding slightly above a large dark eye. Broad white supercilium. Streaks all the way down the neck and into the breast. Pale white belly. Charcoal streaks in the flanks. The scapulars were the most striking part of the bird. Heavily dotted with white. The dots extended in diagonal bars from the center of the back. Alternating a lighter bar of dots and then a darker bar of dots. Quite striking. Dark axillaries were seen in flight which was very helpful!
