Colin,
I had a Pectoral Sandpiper sighting at Queerah near Cairns back in the 1970's with Bill Whayman. A strong characteristic for our sighting was the stance of the bird, it almost seemed to be standing on tip toes most of the time, in a grassy area close to water. The stance was taller than any Sharpie I have observed. Great to see that noted in your report. "clear chest demarcation and 'taller', 'bigger' size and shape and general giz."
