Pectoral Sandpiper - 8-28-10 - melanistic

Long tibia and tarsus, yellow legs, long bill, slim body, colorful juvenile plumage. At the right angle you could see a light supercilium and some reddish streaking on crown that bled through the dusky charcoal color. This color changed to a rich brown wash just below the throat and across the upper chest that abruptly cut off with no streaking extending below.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
