chipperatl Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I’m thinking a Dowitcher as I think the wing stripe on a Dunlin would be visible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to get it to be SBDO, I think the better case for that is no white in the "wing pit" area that LBDO would show. If trying to make it a Dunlin, the under-wing is too dark also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with "shorebird" if definitive ID not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had LBDO with an even worse angle last wee, and were able to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
