| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The combination of size, shape, and plumage was very distinct and eliminated all other shorebirds. The buffy plumage, bill shape, and tail pattern eliminated Lesser Yellowlegs. The larger size, longer legs, bill shape, and plumage eliminated Pectoral Sandpiper. The larger size, very buffy plumage, bill shape, and tail pattern eliminated Stilt Sandpiper. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:26:00/09:50:00. |
