Editing Least sandpiper (section)

==Description==
[[File:Calidris minutilla-foraging.jpg|thumb|left|Foraging]]
This [[species]] has yellow-green legs and a short, thin, dark [[beak|bill]]. Breeding adults are brown with dark brown streaks on top and white underneath. They have a light line above the eye and a dark crown. In winter, Least sandpipers are grey above. The juveniles are brightly patterned above with rufous coloration and white mantle stripes.

This bird can be difficult to distinguish from other similar tiny shorebirds; these are known collectively as "peeps" or "[[stint]]s". In particular, least sandpiper is very similar to its [[Asia]]n counterpart, [[long-toed stint]]. It differs from that species in its more compact, shorter-necked appearance, shorter toes, somewhat duller colors, and stronger wingbar.
