Gorgeous elegant little wader. There were adult birds there too, but I didn’t get a nice photo of one. I should go through them again and see if I can pick out the best, since they do have quite different plumage.

That’s the adult. Told you the photos were awful. But you can see that they don’t have the grey cap, and they have a black collar. And they’re now called White-headed Stilts.
