The broad-billed sandpiper (Limicola falcinellus) is a small wading bird. It is the only member of the genus Limicola; some have proposed that it should be placed in the genus Erolia with the "stint" sandpipers, but more recent research suggests that it should rather go into the genus Philomachus with the ruff and possibly the sharp-tailed sandpiper; it certainly is a fairly unusual calidrid.
