Observation details
I shared this photo with experienced birders and all concurred with the ID. I have almost zero experience with this species in spring and it is much rarer in spring than in July-early Sept (when still quite rare). See photos. The bird caught my eye in the field as it appeared slightly smaller, obviously shorter-billed, and foraging near but not directly with the Western Sandpipers.
