Thanks Seth, Daniel and Roland for ID's on previous posting.
Just to make sure of this one.....
1 There was complete agreement that this one (in my last posting) is a Little Stint
2 Different time, different place, same bird? This was snapped on the edge of a largish pond on the Sanetti Plateau, Bale Mountains NP. It was a solitary wader, but there were ducks (Ruddy Shelduck and Yellow Billed) nearby. From memory it was similar size to the Little Stint (ie smallish) but seems to have a slightly longer beak and clearer darkish moustachial stripe extending behind the eye. But maybe I am trying too hard for a different species.
