Ordinary Redshanks in breeding plumage are a marbled brown color, slightly lighter below. In winter plumage they become to some extent lighter-toned and less patterned, being rather plain greyish-brown above and whitish below. They have red legs and a black-tipped red bill, and show white up the back and on the wings in flight.
