What is "broad-billed sandpiper"

The broad-billed sandpiper (Limicola falcinellus) is a small wading bird. It is the only member of the genus Limicola. The scientific name is from Latin. Limicola is "mud-dweller" from limus, "mud" and colere, "to dwell" and falcinella is from falx, falcis, "a sickle. Some research suggests that it should rather go into the genus Philomachus with the ruff and possibly the sharp-tailed sandpiper.
