Common Redshank

The common redshank is a Eurasian wader in the sandpiper family. Six subspecies are recognised; several breed in Europe, Siberia and central and east Asia and winter in Africa, India and Southeast Asia, and the form eurhina breeds in Tajikistan, north India and Tibet and winters in India and the Malay Peninsula. In breeding plumage it is marbled brown, and in winter it is lighter and plainer greyish-brown (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is closely related to the wood sandpiper and the marsh sandpiper. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
