The Solitary sandpiper

The solitary sandpiper is a small shorebird. The genus name "Tringa" is the New Latin name given to the green sandpiper by Aldrovandus in 1599 based on Ancient Greek "trungas", a thrush-sized, white-rumped, tail-bobbing wading bird mentioned by Aristotle. The specific "solitaria" is Latin for "solitary" from "solus", "alone".
