Identification: A medium-sized wader with distinctive, bright orange-red legs. Similar to the much rarer Spotted Redshank, but much shorter- and thicker-billed with significantly less red on bill base; in flight, also shows extensive white on secondaries. Grey-tailed Tattler, which is greyer overall and shorter-legged, has yellow rather than red legs; Terek Sandpiper may show orange legs but has a highly distinctive upturned bill. Black spotting on breast, lower flanks, vent, and upperparts in breeding plumage fades in non-breeding season, but is still apparent on some individuals as late as August.
