Pectoral Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper

A different individual from the one above. This is the one I photographed thinking "That's a Pectoral Sandpiper!!" But on closer look, could it be a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper? ^^;

Thought so, but after tips from SHORE BIRDS IN JAPAN and Eta, it turned out to be a Pectoral Sandpiper!! A lifer for me. ^^ Many thanks to you both!! Still, it's impressive that Eta could pick it out without ever having seen a Pectoral Sandpiper. ^^;
