Subject: [Tweeters] Sandpiper ID at Kah Tai Lagoon in Pt. Townsend


I saw and photographed a very actively feeding sandpiper today at the Kah Tai Lagoon in Port Townsend (http://www.flickr.com/photos/37079820 at N07/). It's a little larger than the Least Sandpipers feeding nearby. I presumed it was a Pectoral Sandpiper with yellow legs and reddish at the base of the bill. However, there is no breast color at all. Is this a juvenile or did I misidentify it? Thanks for any help.
