Saw this bird this morning in San Diego, CA. There is a presumed ID by the local experts, but thought it would be interesting to see what others think.

Eegh, I probably shouldn't even be trying on vagrant shorebirds, but did they happen to suggest Great Knot?

This is the suspect.

That is much better than I would have done on my own. Great Knot is definitely a major consideration.

I have to admit I cheated. I saw the post on CalBirds about the "Surfknot" in San Diego.

A surfknot would be awesome! The bill was the one part that was bothering me, it seems pretty short and thin on this bird. How cool is that?! I would love to hear more about this one.
