I would agree with Wood Sandpiper. The supercillium looks like it is far too bold and extends too
far behind the eye for a Green Sandpiper. Also I'm more used to far less bold markings on the upper
parts on Green.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Possible Green Sandpiper
Hi Folk,
I've posted a cropped photo of a possible Green Sandpiper onto Eremaea
NQ Birdline
http://www.eremaea.com/BirdlineArchive.aspx?Birdline=5&From=20140419&To=20140420
The photo was taken along the Karumba - Normanton Road by Tony Neilsen.
I don't have any further information. Can anyone confirm or offer an
alternative ID? Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Keith.
