I have posted reassembled composite RED PHALAROPE at:

http://home.pacifier.com/~neawanna/SNOW/REPH_skeleton.jpg

Several folks have collected their own owl pellets with
shorebird parts in them. You should be able to compare bones
with this photo to determine if you've got a phalarope or
something different. You can also estimate how many birds
are represented in the pellet by counting long bones since
every bird is only allowed 2 humeri and 2 tibiotarsi.
