Tumetildrit võiks vabalt kutsuda ka kirjutildriks. Hundsulestikus (pesitsemisperioodi sulestik) on nad praktiliselt mustad nagu antud piltidel. Üleminekuperioodil muutuvad hallikirjuks (vt mõnda eelmist tumetildri pilti) ning talvel, kui Euroopast eemal ollakse, on sulgede värvus kohati päris valge.
You could easily call the Spotted Redshank a Colorful Shank. The alternate plumage (during the nesting period) is very dark like on these pictures. In-between plumage is greyish (see some previous Spotted Redshank photos) and the basic plumage is practically white (not seen very often in Europe).
