Figure 2. In Ceará, there are not many inland registers of Tringa melanoleuca, and the species can easily be confused with T. flavipes. Compare with Mata et al. 2006, p. 178.
This photo shows the individual whose vocalization is presented above. The picture, though underexposed, allows to see the relatively long bill, which is an important characteristic for identification. The bill is slightly upturned, but this is not clearly visible, because the photo is a little blurred.
