Asian Dowitcher J-1W


Asian Dowitcher.


Same individual.
According to lack of breeding plumage, less worn in primaries, color of covers, this would be the first non- breeding moult.



Central tail feathers grey. "Shorebirds of Northern America, Europe, and Asia" mentions that feature. But I never noticed that in other individuals.
