Temminck's stint
(Rẽ Lưng đen, Calidris temminckii)
Temminck's stint (Calidris temminckii) is a small wader of the family Scolopacidae.
The bird breeds in the taiga of Arctic northern Europe and Asia; it is strongly migratory, wintering at freshwater sites in tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia.
Charadriidae, Charadrius: Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate; from Ancient Greek kharadrios a bird found in ravines and river valleys (kharadra, "ravine").
The word Scolopacidae is New Latin, derived from the genus name Scolopax (Latin for "snipe" or "woodcock") and the common zoological suffix for family names, -idae.
The genus name Calidris is from Ancient Greek kalidris or skalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds.
The specific epithet is from the name of a Dutch naturalist Coenraad Jacob Temminck.
