Liam Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Breast is too clean and pale for Dunlin, which are dingy gray on the breast from minute flecks of gray across the width. The bill is on the long side for Western Sandpiper, but still within the length range for the species. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDMH Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thanks. Yes, the bill looks intermediate to me, but I was thinking that pure white breast couldn't be right for Dunlin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
