We can ID this sandpiper as a nonbreeding Spotted Redshank as follows:
- Grey upperparts
- Whitish underparts with spotted flanks
- Red legs
- Red on bill is only at base of lower mandible (you can see this in the first photo) - this differentiates the Spotted Redshank from the similar Common Redshank, where the red is on the whole bill base
The Spotted Redshank is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 942.
