Observation details
At first I thought this was a Least Sandpiper but then I noticed the dark legs, ruling out a Least. The bill was wrong for a Dunlin. It did not have streaked flanks so I ruled out a White-rumped, and the bill did not seem long and slightly drooped so I ruled out a Western Sandpiper. This left me with a Baird's Sandpiper or Semipalmayed Sandpiper. It appears to me that the wings extend slightly past the tail feathers, so I am defaulting to Baird's, but if you disagree I would like to know.
