Latin Name : Heteroscelis brevipes

Site Name : Kuala Baram

Photographer : SINGH HSS, Amar

Date : 2013-09-11

Notes : Hayman, Marchant, Prater. Shorebirds: Identification Guide to the Waders of the World states that the nasal groove is an important differentiating feature between the Grey-tailed and Wandering Tattler.

In the Grey-tailed Tattler the "nasal groove ends just over half-way to bill tip"

In the Wandering Tattler the "nasal groove extends almost three-quarters of the way to the tip"
