Pectoral Sandpiper 2512    (8 photos)
2017-03-27   Presa La Vega, west of Gdl, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico

Adult. My first in Jalisco. Here the base of the bill looks almost reddish compared to greenish normally, but could be due to the photo quality and angle. The streaked breast with abrupt transition to white belly is characteristic. Here with Least Sandpiper.
