Seems like a good candidate for hybrid.
I think it's rufous but not sure. Pictures are bad lol
I think it might be Callipepla californica but I’m going to play it safe until someone can confirm
taxonomy of Numenius phaeopus in California seems iffy & may actually be Numenius hudsonicus based on recent changes, though iNat still lists it as phaeopus?
another butt bobber
