Short-billed Dowitcher

Ensley area; Shelby Co, TN

Notice how much white is on the belly of these birds, whereas on Long-billed the red carries on through to the vent.

A subtle difference is the shape of the base of the bill, on Short-billed the bill tends to expand slightly at the base, where on Long-billed the base is of even thickness.
