chipperatl Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I never caught a view of it in flight. I had to keep dodging downpours to view this location. It struck me as White-rumped Sandpiper, and I'm still thinking that just not as confident after looking at the pics. Long-winged, looked like strong supercilium to me. It looks a little buffy, but the Baird's I have seen seem more buffy than this one. The bill looked more drooping than straight. _91A4429.jpg by chipperatl2, on Flickr _91A4427.jpg by chipperatl2, on Flickr _91A4321.jpg by chipperatl2, on Flickr On left of the Dunlin _91A4402.jpg by chipperatl2, on Flickr _91A4397.jpg by chipperatl2, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiley Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Looks better for Baird’s to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I think that is probably right. I did run it through Photo Sleuth...WRSA -71%, LESA and BASA were both 11%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinmt Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Why are you disimissing Dunlin? Bill looks too long for your three mentioned suspects. BASA and WRSA would also display the long primaries extended above the tail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Baird's here too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
