ID please, 半蹼鷸 Asian Dowitcher

Hi,

Would like to confirm if the bird shown in image is Asian Dowitcher 半蹼鷸, due to the brown lower body, all black beak, black legs legs, white at tail.  Thanks.

Sorry the time and place are missing.  The photo was taken on 8/29 in Mai Po.  Thanks.

Yes it is an Asian Dowitcher for the reasons you mention - in fact the bill shape and colour is enough to separate from Godwits, and rather more subtly from Long-billed Dowitcher.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your confirmation.
