Tringa incana (Wandering Tattler)

Synonyms: Heteroscelus incanus; Scolopax incana; Tringa incana checklist

Wikipedia Abstract

The wandering tattler (Tringa incana) (formerly Heteroscelus incanus: Pereira & Baker, 2005; Banks et al., 2006), is a medium-sized wading bird. It is similar in appearance to the closely related gray-tailed tattler, T. brevipes. The tattlers are unique among the species of Tringa for having unpatterned, greyish wings and backs, and a scaly breast pattern extending more or less onto the belly in breeding plumage, in which both also have a rather prominent supercilium. The call is a rapid trill of accelerating, descending notes of decreasing volume.
