Its beak suggests so but the brownish feature on its head/nape contrasting from its upperpart looks different from the others.       « Last Edit: Apr 30th, 2006, 3:04pm by Fred » Logged Neil BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 498 Re: Sanderling amongst Curlew Sandpiper (record on « Reply #2 on: Apr 30th, 2006, 9:03pm » Quote Modify It looks like another Curlew Sandpiper to me.  It's amazing how many variations in color there is amongst them.
