Comparative anatomy of head and neck in the Spoon‐billed sandpiper, Eurynorhynchus pygmeus and its allies
Head and neck anatomy is described and compared in the Spoon‐billed sandpiper Eurynorhynchus pygmeus , the Rufous‐necked stint Calidris ruficollis and the Broad‐billed sandpiper Limicola falcinellus (Calidritinae). Eurynorhynchus pygmeus closely resembles Calidris ruficollis (typical of the subfamil...
