Here he is top right - providing this for a different view of upperparts/tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I'm not sure what this is. Most likely an expected species with a bill deformity, unless it's a young, very lost Spoon-billed Sandpiper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected for this at this time of year would probably be something like Baird's I guess, which I have subsequently seen. This new photo showing somewhat rufous brown.
