| Possible Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. The image calidris5.jpg shows all of the follow to better advantage. Note reduced streaking in center of breast, fading buffy wash on breast, strong contrast of the cap with lower parts of the head, obvious whitish supercilium, the dark necklace, clear throat, limited view of tibia (only the joint is sticking out), and faded chevron- and arrowhead-shaped marks along flank. The pale eye ring is visible even at this oblique angle.
