Grey-brown back, yellowish legs and olive bill.
Description #
Grey-brown back, brownest in the summer male, and grayest in winter. The pectoral sandpiper has a grey breast, sharply demarcated at its lower edge, which gives this species its English name; this clear dividing line is particularly conspicuous if the birds are turned towards the observer. The legs are yellowish, and the bill is olive with a darker tip. The juveniles are more brightly patterned above with rufous coloration and white mantle stripes.
