odd (Black ?) Turnstone on the Azores on YouTube (1 Viewer)

[igorfest]

Dear friends,
I was looking to a YouTube video on Birding on the Azores at this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9LqAyL8cPo
At min. 02:12 of the movie a short clip starts about a Turnstone seen on the island of São Miguel.
That Turnstone looks very strange to me, completely lacking reddish tones and with a thick black lower border to otherwise grey breast.
The bird is DANGEROUSLY similar to a Black Turnstone from the Pacif Coast of North America...!

Dear friends, can you take a glimpse at that bird and tell me what you think about it?

Ciao, Igor Festari, Italy

They all look like perfectly normal Ruddy Turnstones to me - look at the leg colour, among other things.

Black Turnstone can show orange legs, from mildly to brightly so, as shown by many photographs on Google Images.
But better looks at the bird make me think I've over-reacted to the complete absence of reddish color on this immature, as you said an otherwise normal Ruddy... Sorry!
