Observation details
First identified as an odd leg coloured/odd shape Tringa totanus (not the best views on the field) based mainly on possible species likelihood of observation for the given season and location. Since the bird was most of the time between marsh vegetation not all details for a proper ID were possible to assess in the field. For a brief minute the bird left the dense vegetation and I took some record photos (attached). No other waders nearby for size comparison. Based on photos: colour pattern of upperparts and legs; clean flanks; wing projection; thin, straight and dark bill points towards T. flavipes. The bird didn't took off so details of rump/back or wing pattern were not observed.
