  Red-necked Stint, Calidris ruficollis, occurrence and identification, British Columbia
When worn, the throat and supercilium of Red-necked Stint become gradually whiter and the red coloration becomes less extensive, until at the extreme it is reduced to a pale reddish wash across the upper breast and on the crown, nape, and auriculars (Lewington et al 1991).
The mantle feathers of the stints in particular tend to be richer and brighter rufous than in Western or Semipalmated Sandpipers, adding further contrast to the white and dark mantle stripes (Lewington et al 1991).
The upperparts of worn juvenile Red-necked Stints can often approach the appearance of juvenile Western Sandpipers, with the bold rufous scapulars contrasting with the duller, grayer mantle and wing coverts, although the brightness of the scapulars and their subsequent contrast are typically not quite as apparent as on the sandpiper (Lewington et al 1991).

 Joey's Twenty20 stint a success: Bayliss - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News
NSW coach Trevor Bayliss has defended Andrew Johns' involvement in Sunday's Twenty20 loss to South Australia and says the rugby league star's guest stint has been a success.
With the Blues needing 13 runs off the last over to win, NSW captain Simon Katich turned down singles off four of the first five balls from paceman Ryan Harris as he sought to protect a nervous Johns from the strike.
Bayliss said Johns was a certain starter in the second and final match of his two-game stint against Tasmania on Wednesday and didn't rule out playing him higher up the order.
