Hi Brent and all, I think that this bird looks within range for European Whimbrel ( *N.p.phaeopus*). European Whimbrels have more extensive white on the underwings than do our American ones, and this taxon seems an okay fit for the bird in question. The upperwing looks okay for either species, and

Like Bob Paxton I was initially puzzled by the square shape of the white wedge, especially in first image (ML94655071) but accept it looks a little better in the second image (ML94655101). Is it correc to assume the dark blob is the heavy barring on the upperside of the tail? I considered Greater
