Well, I saw the bird early in the morning. Based
mainly on leg colour (and I focussed on this for a while) I identified
it as a Red-necked Stint (The bird was never deep in mud, legs at the most
halfway in it, would assume the true pale colour of the legs would have
shown at least in their upper parts). I couldn't tell wether the breast
band was unbroken or not. Overall it seemed to be a fairly grey bird and the cap
also less pronounced, both features may also support Red-necked
Stint.
My vision may have been a bit shaky, it was very
cold at 6.15 h.
It would seem, we need further
opinions.
