looks like wood sandpiper to me, but the plumage is a bit strange, where are the dots? The taiwanese got a similar looking bird earlier in autumn too... perhaps hybrid? Author: wgeoff Time: 25/11/2007 10:08
It depends how big it is, but how about Long-toed Stint? Long pale legs, long toes and a pale base to the lower mandible. Author: cjimmy Time: 25/11/2007 17:07
What a good call Geoff!!
You are right, and now that's why there is no dots on the back...
You have zoomed too CLOSE allen!! Author: Allen Time: 26/11/2007 21:29
Thanks Geoff and cjimmy.
Is it non-breeding?
