***Mega, Continuing. Small shorebird, a little larger than the near by Least Sandpipers, but much smaller than the Pectorals. Appeared a little rounder/chunkier than the Leasts and was much more tapered/attenuated wings. Molting adult transitioning into winter/basic plumage. Black bill which seemed straight, gray head, defined whitish supercilium, orange-reddish neck, throat and lower cheeks, mostly gray-brown back, fairly long/attenuated wings, black legs (which was difficult to determine at distance in bad light, but the brief moment it was closer they were much easier to see). Pretty clean underwings, prominent white stripe on the remiges near the coverts, white tail with dark central retrices. It was foraging on the mudflats of the East pond in less-than-ideal-lightfor over half an hour along with the Least and Pectoral Sands, at which point something flushed it and a few of the Leasts and it flew to the West pond, foraged in the closeish mud in nice light before flushing again to be in the West corner of the pond and was present there when I left. Similar species: Least Sandpiper does not have the reddish wash to the throat/neck, gray head, straight bill, black legs, longer/attenuated wings Semipalmated Sandpiper does not have the reddish wash to the throat/neck, longer/attenuated wings Western Sandpiper does not have the reddish wash to the throat/neck, straight bill, longer/attenuated wings Red Knot is not that small, isn't as hunched, doesn't have: quite as short/thin bill, black legs, as prominent white stripe in the wings, as long/attenuated wings, black stripe in the center of the tail Little Stint shouldn't have the red wash across the entire throat, isn't quite as long/attenuated, doesn't tend to quite as cold of grays
