| Remarks : | Originally misidentified as White-headed Stilt Himantopus leucocephalus but note that birds with a black hindneck resembling White-headed Stilt occur regularly in populations of Black-winged Stilt. White-headed Stilt would have a white head with sharply demarcated black hindneck and white upper mantle. See images of that species on this website. - Eds |
