Abstract
An unusual looking small Curlew Numenius was observed and photographed on 22 November 2018 in a flock of Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata at Barong river, Banyuasin Peninsular, Banyuasin district, South Sumatra province, Indonesia. This small curlew appeared to be very similar to the Whimbrel Numenius phaeopus (N. p. phaeopus, N. p. variegatus and N. p. alboaxillaris) and the Slender-bill Curlew Numenius tenuirostris. However, further careful identification indicates this small Numenius is a Eurasian Curlew. This case at first appears to be an aberrant curlew, but on careful examination of the photo, it is actually an interesting example of how photos can give the wrong impression. We provide a word of caution to local birdwatchers to pay careful attention to the use of photographs for species identification in Indonesia, as well as more broadly in south-east Asia.
