Cade 1957 Pitt Point 29 July Idimantopus micropalinata A sandpiper, almost certainly this species, was seen around a mudflat pond near the river east of the site. In company of semipalmated sandpipers. It was in winter plumage- had very conspicuous "three-joints" and in flight the entire tail was apparently whitish with some grey effects - as in case of yellow legs. Legs were a yellowish-green. Size near that of pectoral but a more slender looking species.
