I am not so sure if it is Pectoral Sandpiper(斑胸濱鷸). ???

Hi Thomas,

It is not a Pectoral Sandpiper!

The bird has only a mottled breast band. The Pect. Sand. has many streaks on the breast. Pictures of Pect. Sand. in the new photographic guide are very good. Try to see it and compare to your bird.

Your bird is a Temminck's Stint.

Hi Tung,

Thanks for your reply! I need learn more from your.
Sandpipers are diffcult to identify.

Thanks!
