Red-necked stints are 'peeps' -- very small Calidris sandpipers much like the the least and western sandpipers common in North America. Red-necked stints do have considerable rusty color when breeding but these winter adults are in typical subdued non-breeding plumage. These were all photographed on the mudflats at the Esplanade in Cairns, north Queensland, Australia.
