The single specimen on which this species was founded was shot on Long 

 Island in May 1833, and still remains unique. It was at first compared with 

 the Knot, and Mr. Seebohm considered it to be synonymous with Tringa canutus. 

 In his ' Manual,' however, Mr. Ridgway compares it with T. fuscicollis, from 

 which it is said to differ by the length of its wing, which exceeds 5'5 inches in 

 length. " Similar to the corresponding stages of T. fuscicollis, but the ground- 

 colour of the upper parts brownish grey, with only the least trace of ochraceous 

 on some of the longer scapulars ; the upper tail-coverts conspicuously varied 

 with broad V-shaped marks of greyish dusky. Total length about 950, wing 

 5'80, culmen 1 '25, tarsus 1 20 " {Bidgway).
