Professor Schlegel (Mus. Pays-Bas, Scolopaces, p. 93) identifies this species with Numenius 

 phceopus. Sonnerat's plate and description do not perfectly agree with that species, more 

 especially as he describes and figures the crown of the head as being black. Mr. Swinhoe, who 

 considers N. uropygialis, Gould, distinct from N. phceojMS, has identified Mr. Gould's species 

 with that described by Sonnerat (P. Z. S. 1871, p. 410, no 572). Mr. Dresser (Birds of Eur. 

 pt. 17) has united N. phwopus with N. uropygialis, and regards Sonnerat's plate as having been 

 drawn from a Philippine example of the common Whimbrel.

I am unable to determine this species ; nor has it been recognized since Sonnerat published 

 its description. No author appears to have suggested its identity with any known species. But,
