	Sharp-tailed Sandpiper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Calidris acuminata, is a small wader.
		The juveniles are brightly patterned above with rufous colouration and white mantle stripes.
		This bird is similar to its relative, the Pectoral Sandpiper, within whose Asian range it breeds.

	Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in New York
		On Thursday 10 October 2002 Dominic Sherony found a juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper near Lasalle Landing Park on Irondequoit Bay on the outskirts of Rochester, New York.
		It is very similar to a juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper but can be picked out by its brighter red cap and brighter white supercilium which extends further back on the head than it does on most (but not all) Pectorals.
		The breast is orangy buff, much brighter than on the Pectorals and, as on the Pec's, it is sharply demarcated from the white belly and undertail coverts.

		A Pectoral Sandpiper in transition from alternate/breeding plumage to basic/winter plumage will have alternate plumage breast feathers showing dense streaking ending in a straight line that are being replaced by basic plumage feathers that show dense streaking ending in a straight line.
		A Sharp-tailed Sandpiper in transition from alternate to basic plumage can be expected to show dense streaks being replaced by fine streaks or no streaks, which results in a messy pattern on the underparts of a molting bird.
		Finally, here are some more photographs of autumn adult ST Sandpipers, for comparison: http://homepage2.nifty.com/stints/calidris/sharptail-aswA.html http://homepage2.nifty.com/stints/calidris/sharptail-aswB.html http://www.dirkmoerbeek.nl/800/ned/acuminata02.htm In conclusion, I think this bird is still too similar to Pectoral Sandpiper (though not the most typical, I admit) to warrant an identification as ST Sand.

		According to the field guides I was using, with the bright buffy-orange breast, a supercilium, yellowish-green legs, and a reddish cap, it had to be a juv.
		Sharp-tailed Sandpiper (right) is much more heavily streaked about the neck and upper breast, the back has a pair of prominent white "braces" on the scapulars, the feather centers are variably fl or fl-and-gray with whitish, buff, or reddish edges (depending on which feather is involved), giving a prominent "zoned" look to the upperparts.
		The tail is longer and the contrast between orange lower breast and white belly is crisp, totally unlike the buffy or even orange wash to the underparts of bright juv.

	Sharp-tailed Sandpiper Irondequoit Bay
		The juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was seen by many as it foraged with Pectoral Sandpipers.
		Distinguishing it from the Pectoral Sandpipers was the deeper rusty cap, the buffy chest with striping restricted to the upper breast, and the scattered striping on some of the undertail coverts.
		The bird had a prominent white supercilium, but it was matched by a couple of the Pectorals present.

		-Upper tail coverts have rufous edges instead of being dark brown all the way to the edge -While the bird did not run around as much as any of the other shorebirds, it was nevertheless quite active while feeding, which made it difficult to judge tail shape.
		I remember the bird caught my eye because it was with a "normal" looking Pectoral Sandpiper, and this individual was extremely bright in plumage, with lots of bright rufous edging, especially on the cheek and crown, had a fairly prominent supercilium, and had some buff wash on the breast.
		Based on some comments on this thread, I think that the lack of records in the US of adult Sharp-tailed Sandpipers is probably the handicapping feature while in Europe, it seems that generally most records involve a higher proportion of adults as opposed to juveniles.
