Possible Pied Avocet

This is a very long shot of what I think is a Pied Avocet:

Tateo Osawa was the first to notice this unusual subject mingling with the Stilts at Jugan. Maybe he has better photos. Can the masters verify this?

Yep, the upturned bill and the plumage certainly are consistent with Pied Avocet. I think you need to go back to Jugan and get it in golden light.

Here's a very nice photo I grabbed from the web, courtesy of Mr. Gyorgy Szimuly:

Yessssss! I'm off to Manila today, and will be back by tomorrow, God willing. I hope it's still there. It's gonna be a record for Cebu! :-)
