Common sand-piper
The adult is 18–20 cm long with a 32–35 cm wingspan. It has greyish-brown upper parts, white lower part, short dark-yellowish legs and feet, and a bill with a pale base and dark tip. In winter plumage, they are duller and have more conspicuous barring on the wings, though this is still only visible at close range. Juveniles are more heavily barred above and have buff edges to the wing feathers.
