looks like long-billed Dowitcher.
It seems quite rare for this sp. in autumn. Author: cgeoff Time: 15/11/2008 15:10
It's probably almost impossible to say for sure that this is Long-billed, as opposed to Short-billed. But Gary is correct to say Long-billed, as the Records Committee treats all records of non-Asian dowitchers as Long-billed. It's much more likely to occur and based on breeding plumage birds and a couple of juveniles, it's the only one that's been proven to occur.
