CommentI've aged this bird as 2+ and is therefore a non-breeding adult. This bird has nice clean plumage with no remnant juvenile feathers. Another unusual feature of this species is that it undertakes a full moult on passage rather than when it arrives here in Australia unlike our other migrant shorebirds.

Photographed here with Red Knot, Great Knot, Grey-tailed Tattler and Greater Sandplover
