TIS bird is common to Europe and America ; 
according to Mr. Edwards's figure, it is less 
than the preceding. 
The bill is of the same colors with that of the Descrir- 
Red shank; the head, upper part of the neck, pi 
the back and coverts of the wings, are brown, 
inclining to olive, and marked with triangular 
black spots ; above each eye is a white line ; the 
greater quil feathers are wholly black, the lesser 
tipt with white ; the middle feathers of the tail 
are brown; the side feathers white, marked with 
dusky liries ; the whole under side, from the neck 
to tail, is white, marked with dusky spots; the 
female has none of these spots, except on the 
throat ; the legs are of a dusky fiesh color. Mr. 
Edwards imagines these to be birds of passage; 
the bird he took his description from was shot 
in Essex.
