R.B. Hamilton 1965 Calidris mauri July 21 most closely resembles the white-rumped snipe. Both are reddish on top and mottled along the sides. It differs from fuscicollis in that the red on the back is more blotched and the marks underneath are mostly dots and are not streaks as in fuscicollis. The bill is somewhat longer (slightly spotting) in mauri. Aug 3. Cape Thompson. Eight birds of this species were observed feeding along the creek.
