Résumé :	All three species of dowitcher Limnodromus are described and illustrated in all their substantive plumages, including the three races of Short-billed L. griseus and the poorly known Asian Dowitcher L. semipalmatus. The various identification criteria for separating the two Nearctic species are reviewed, and primary projection beyond the tail is highlighted as a useful feature in all except juvenile plumages, particularly to aid identification in the 'difficult' non-breeding plumage.
