A small, stint-like sandpiper with a distinctively long, slightly down-curved bill and a split supercilium giving a snipe-like head pattern.
Listed as vulnerable, this species is an uncommon but regular winter visitor to Borneo's coastal mudflats, often feeding alongside larger flocks of stints and sandpipers.
