Far Eastern Curlew

The Far Eastern curlew is a large wader most similar in appearance to the long-billed curlew, but slightly larger. It is mostly brown, differentiated from other curlews by its plain, unpatterned brown underwing and brown rump. It is not only the largest curlew but probably the world's largest sandpiper, at 60–66 cm in length and about 110 cm across the wings (Wikipedia, general species account).
