Adult male in winter plumage. Similar to the winter plumage of 

 L. minuta and L. ruficollis, but darker than either of them, with 

 the head and back much more thickly spotted with black, and the 

 lower throat and fore-neck very distinctly streaked or mottled with 

 brown. The species can of course be distinguished from both of 

 the above species by its long toes.

 L. minuta, but easily distinguished by the length of the middle toe 

 and the colour of the legs. Total length 5-2 inches, culmen 0*7, 

 wing 3*4, tail 1-4, tarsus 0-8, middle toe and claw 0-9. 



Adult female. Similar to the male in plumage: " bill blackish, 

 olive-brown at base of lower jaw ; feet greyish yellow, with the 

 joints darker olive ; iris dark brown " (L. Stejneger). 



Hab. E. Siberia and the Kurile Islands, Kamtchatka, Bering 

 Island and the islands off Alaska, ranging south in winter by Japan 

 and China to Eastern Bengal, the Burmese countries, Malacca, and 

 the Indo-Malayan Islands to Australia.
