Identification: A medium-sized wader with distinctive, bright red legs. Breeding plumage (unexpected in Singapore) all black, very distinctive. Non-breeding plumage similar to the Common Redshank, but with brighter red legs and thinner, black bill with distinct red bill base on the lower mandible. Lacks white trailing edge on wings when seen in flight. 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.
