Which stint? (1 Viewer)

[Muratfaik]

I took these images at Göksu Delta-Turkey, in March 2023. Projected toes, bolder underwing lines and isolated cheek patch suggest me a stitnt, other than little.. opinions please. Thanks.

Interesting, that no one has attempted an ID on these, presumably LTS is out of the question?😮

Again, I am not a wader specialist. All I can say is that you should not look at toe projection in landing or taking off stints, the toes being not at the flight position. For the rest (cheek patch) I don't see anything special here.

I too, am vague on webbed feet and long legs..😉

Long-toed stint has yellow [or greenish or some colour other than black] legs

I think just little stint. Compare legs here:

don't think red-necked but I've forgotten distinctions—which anyway should have shorter legs.

Green legs do appear to be the go colour for LTS, which these clearly aren’t.👍
