Common Sandpiper
rantasipi · Actitis hypoleucos
Family: Scolopacidae (Kurpat) · Size: 18–20.5 cm
The common sandpiper is a small Palearctic wader. This bird and its American sister species, the spotted sandpiper, make up the genus Actitis. They are parapatric and replace each other geographically; stray birds of either species may settle down with breeders of the other and hybridize. Hybridization has also been reported between the common sandpiper and the green sandpiper, a member of the closely related genus Tringa.
