Birders,

After reviewing excellent photos taken by Tom Munson, we had concerns about
the id of the Yakima Delta stint as a Red-necked Stint. The spotting was
mostly contained within the rufous area. The leg length, the rufous
tertials and greater coverts, and the scapular marks had bothered us all
along. These are characteristics shown by Little Stint.

Tom's photos are now posted with his permission at

We sent a message to ID Frontiers and the initial responses are supportive
for Little Stint.
