Long-billed Dowitcher, spring breeding plumage

Shoreline Park, Mountain View

The diagnostic white tips to the feathers forming the flank bars indicate Long-billed. Note also the heavy body and hunched posture, and a bill that appears on the long side. Another picture of the same bird is at http://www.pbase.com/image/41931379 .
