Suriname aka Dutch Guiana, is another country that uses "yellow" flags. Looking 
forward to hearing about the history.

 On a sidenote, weather was pleasant and didnt have any mosquitos or gnats

Thanks, I uploaded the photo - best could make out was a letter and "24".
I'll submit it later today.  Another birder thought it may be from
Suriname.  Last year around this time (same week) at the same location I
had another banded Semi-Palmated Sandpiper with a blue banded letters UCH -
turned out was tagged in Brazil and the person who actually banded the bird
got in contact with me. (yesterday's photo on my blog
