Observation details

Very small, Least Sandpiper-sized Calidris with black legs feeding by itself, mostly at or above waters edge. Pale, had somewhat elongated appearance. Bill was somewhat thin and slightly droopy but seemed too short for Western. Photos seem to suggest notched gape, but could not see in the field. Will upload photos Friday if not sooner. Observed for about 10 minutes before it flew out of sight.
