The Old World Whimbrel
(N. phaopus), which as already stated occurs in Greenland, whereby it comes to be regarded as a North American bird, is similar to the Hudsonian Curlew, but is only seventeen inches in length and has a white rump, which none of the other American species have. It is found throughout Europe generally, its place in eastern Asia, Japan, Korea, etc., being taken by the closely allied Variegated Whimbrel (N. variegatus).
Their habits are those of Curlews in general.
