Still from video showing white patagium as Long-billed Dowitcher came to land.

Détails de l'observation

Juvenile in company of the three yellowlegs. Color variable with lighting but generally more greyish overall than buffy. Grey head and breast notable. Maybe some faint buff color on side of breast/belly. Tertials fit Sibley App description of grey with thin rust edging. Reviewed a range of field marks against iPhone video which revealed dark tail in flight and white patch (patagium) noticeable as the bird came in to land. Video also captured calls as the birds flushed, landed, and flushed again.
