Little Stint in Rhodes? (1 Viewer)

[Richg32]

Hi - another question from Rhodes. I saw plenty of Little Stints and Temminck's Stints with some plumage variation, but this one looks quite different. The upper breast looks very dark compared to all the books and photos I've looked at and there seems to some grey/brown towards the belly. Overall size and bill look right for a Little Stint (compare to LRP in photo) but no sign of the "white stripes" on the back which guides mention. Ruled out Sanderling as the second photo shows a hind toe. Is this just a dark Little Stint or am I missing something? As always any guidance is very welcome - thanks.

Ive got limited experience when it comes to Stints, but couldn’t this be Red Necked Stint? Other than the red neck, photos seem to show long primary projection atleast reaching the tip of the tail

Those are very long tibia and the body proportions are better for Little then RNS. Throat is pale as well.

Bright Little Stint for me.
