What is this wader?

Hi Everyone,

Would someone know what this wader could be?

Thanks,

Curtis

It's a Red Knot. Identified from Great Knot by bill length roughly equal to width of head, Greats have noticably longer bill, also in this non-breeding plumage Greats have more contrast in the upperparts, i.e. slightly darker feathers with more contrasting fringes.

Cheers, Steve
