Long-toed Stint (Calidris subminuta): Photos, Range and Facts

Overview

The long-toed stint (Calidris subminuta) is a small wader. The genus name is from Ancient Greek kalidris or skalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds. The specific subminuta is from Latin sub, "near to" and minuta, "small" from its similarity to the little stint, Calidris minuta.
Within the genus Calidris the long-toed stint is most closely related to Temminck's stint (Calidris temminckii).
