Possible Baird's Sandpiper seen from about 30 feet on beach at Willow Grove Park.  Bird worked the shoreline north eventually off park property.  By the time second observer arrived the bird was distant enough that he only could confirm it was a sandpiper.

The bird appeared larger than a Western Sandpiper, had black legs, black narrow bill, dark head and neck that had a marked transition to a pure white breast.  The wing tips appeared to extend beyond the tail.  The photo by Andre Birch on eBird is almost exactly the bird I saw.
