Gobrychus sinensis
Koror 3 Nov One seen in flight - I believe it was over grassy farmland.
Babelthmap 13 Nov One flew across the causeway in the mangrove swamp.
These are the only two I saw. Looked like sinensis. Very Rare. (If they were common, but nocturnal, I would have seen them often.)

Peleliu 2 Nov One flew across road & into dense mangrove forest - fast thru trees. Looked size of Sharp-shin.
