Similar in size to Black-tailed Godwit, with black legs intermediate in length between Bar-tailed and Black-tailed Godwits. Bill largely black, straight and slightly blob-tipped.

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.

Large, dark brown, heavily streaked shorebird with strongly downcurved bill and grey or greyish-blue legs.
