Observation details

*Rare. Pumphouse Lake. Skittish. Photos. Called once, a somewhat sweet single note "churp", very unlike all vocalizations known to me of Least Sandpiper, though also unlike the rolling Long-toed Stint flight calls that I am familiar with. Small brown calidrid with long yellow legs, fairly prominent toe projection beyond the body in flight, weak black line between the eye and bill on an otherwise fairly pale/blank face. Brown coming down the sides of the upper breast, noticeable white slashes in the underwing. Long wings, with an especially long hand, and therefore the flight style much more reminiscent of shorebirds with similarly proportionally long wings (Pectoral, tringas), than of Least Sandpiper.
