Single record from Kedah in April 2014, though possibly under-recorded. Best told from other buttonquails by bright yellow legs and bill base and orange-chestnut colouration on the nape.

Large, streak-backed shorebird with very long, pink-based, slightly upturned bill and relatively short black legs.

Very large, mid-brown shorebird with very long, downcurved bill. In flight, white rump and back and unmarked white underwing coverts are diagnostic

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

Large, noisy, elegant, boldly-coloured lapwing with very long, yellow legs and red facial skin and bill base.

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.

Similar to Kentish Plover, but heavier-billed and paler above, with shorter lateral breast patches, broader white nuchal collar; lores and lower ear coverts mostly white.
