Medium-sized, stocky shorebird with short, straight bill and short, olive-coloured legs.

Brown and white sandpiper with long red legs and basal half of bill. In flight, from above, white back, rump, barred tail and broad white trailing edge to inner wing. From below, underwing coverts unmarked white.
