MP, 14Apr. Greenshank?

Yes, a Terek Sandpiper. The bill is upcurved like a Greenshank, but is much longer. Also the legs are much shorter, giving a very different structure (and feeding action when seen in the field). The legs and bill base are orange-yellow and the plumage is generally fairly plain but with two black streaks on the back.
