Short-billed Dowitcher, breeding plumage

Radio Road

Note the hard to see buff/orange fringes to breast and flank feathers in fresh plumage; compare sharply contrasting white against red in the Long-billed, see http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/image/149985475 . Note also spots where Long-billed has bars on the side of the breast (both species have bars on the flanks). Brown, orange, and buff pattern on upperparts typical; compare black, red, and white on the Long-billed.
