Editing Little stint (section)

==Description==
Its small size, fine dark bill, dark legs and quicker movements distinguish this species from all waders except the other dark-legged [[stint]]s. It can be distinguished from these in all plumages by its combination of a fine bill tip, unwebbed toes and long primary projection. The call is a sharp "stit".

The breeding adult has an orange wash to the breast, a white throat and a strong white V on its back. In winter plumage identification is difficult. Juveniles have pale crown stripes and a pinkish breast.

An apparent [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] between this species and [[Temminck's stint]] has been reported from the [[Netherlands]].<ref name=Jonsson1996/>
