A large, mottled brown and grey coastal bird stands alert on a sandy beach with its head turned to the left. Its feathers are a complex pattern of white and dusky brown spots, and it features a pale beak with a dark tip and thin, pinkish legs. The background is a soft, out-of-focus expanse of neutral-toned sand that highlights the bird’s sturdy silhouette.
