Media notes
Not sure if this is a juvenile. In non-breeding plumage. Legs were dark but not black. Streaking on breast with some chevrons seen. Rufous coloring around base of bill and on some feathers in the crown and along the sides of the wings. Bill was thinner at the end than the base. Longer bill than a Semipalmated Sandpiper.Webbing on feet can be seen. It took me a while to be comfortable with this being a Western sandpiper and not a Semipalmated Sandpiper.
