I'm interested, but am afraid that I can not aid in its identification,as It does not look like any of the shorebirds we have here in North America that I now of. It seems to be "peppered" with tiny, black specks! What's that?

The strong back-lighting makes it difficult to see plumage details and (i think enhances the impression of a slender square-headed stint carrying its bodyrathr horizontally - all of which suggest Little Stint to me.
Cheers Mike
