Unfortunately the upperside is not clearly visible and only one tip of a greater secondary covert is showing (it does look like thick white edging though). I haven't seen it mentioned yet but the UNDERwing of the Limantour bird shows brown-washed primary coverts and white secondary coverts. The secondary coverts are overexposed but regardless there does not seem to be any detectable brown wash there. Hayman/Marchant/Prater mention this difference but the illustration isn't very good. Looking at the Slater Museum of Natural History wing photo collection the difference is much more obvious with Long-toed showing a brown wash all the way down the secondary coverts (admittedly the collection does not have a hatch-year Long-toed wing).
