A smaller and elegant, delicately built, sandpiper; about 20cm in length. Can be confused with a bit larger and stockier Green sandpiper (T. ochropus). Brown back with well defined pearly-looking pattern; paler brown, diffusely streaked bellow; long yellowish legs and somewhat shorter fine bill.
Seen in less densely populated and poorer southern tip of Teknaf peninsula; this is a sandy area, with salty terrains and some resistant vegetation. Seen in pair in a shallow waters of a pond, close to salt production fields.
