Medium-sized shorebird with short, slightly decurved bill, small head and medium length olive to orange-coloured legs.

Extremely rare austral winter/spring vagrant to Bornean Malaysia, with just two records: "flocks around Kuching", Sarawak, including one collected, in Sept 1951, and three in Kota Belud, Sabah, on 1 Aug 1987. Very long-legged, long-winged pratincole with short, square tail.

Similar in most respects to Black-winged Stilt. Most obvious differences are a well-marked black nuchal ‘mane’ and clear white head, and deeper, puppy-like call.

Small plover with white collar, yellow eye-ring, dark brown upperparts, dark mask, complete breast band, pink or yellow legs, elongated body.

A chunky, stint-like shorebird with black legs, large head and no hind toes.

Short-legged, long-tailed shorebird with mid-length, straight bill. Distinctive white ‘spur’ at the wing shoulder. Near-constant bobbing of rear end and stiff-winged flight characteristic.

Elegant white and grey/brown sandpiper with medium-length, slightly upcurved bill and long green-yellow legs. In flight, toes project beyond tail. From above, plain darkish wings and scapulars contrast with white back and rump and whitish, barred tail. From below, wing coverts well-barred.

Long-bodied, black-legged stint most numerous on intertidal mudflats.
