Extinction: The last confirmed specimens were collected in 1773; the exact date of extinction is unknown. Cause: Introduced predators, particularly rats, are considered a likely cause. Special characteristics: Also called the White-winged Sandpiper, it had a short straight bill, a pale eyebrow and a conspicuous white shoulder patch. How to Colour: Try brown upperparts and rusty-buff underparts. Keep the eyebrow pale and the conspicuous wing patch white, using small strokes around the head and smooth layers on the rounded body.
