Pampa Honda. Basic plumage. My first perception of this birds was of a Semipalmated because of the short thick bill, but now I think it is a Western with a very short bill. This because the bill does seem to curve slightly at the end and there is a narrowing part just before the end giving the impression of a drop shaped tip which I don't think Semipalmated has. The bird also seem rather big compared to the Leasts acompanying it, which also is in favor Western. It looks like there is webbing between two of the toes indicating a Semipalmated, but I don't think this is a reliable separation character comparing these two. |
