Well, what I mean is that being "lumped" with shorebirds is somewhat
different to "belongs" in the shorebirds group. I don't think that
Plains Wanderers would view themselves as shorebirds, if it were
possible to ask their opinion.

Handbook of Birds of the World has them as a "Shorebird". Helm's
Shorebirds of the World does not. Pizzey does, Clements 5th does. I
think IOU and Birdlife International do as well?

Godwits and Sandplovers.
