Not sure on this one, there is a Western Sandpiper at Presqu'ile but I am not sure exactly what it looks like.

Looks very much like the Western Sandpiper we saw yesterday at Presquile. Longer and thicker based bill then on a Semi and small amount of rufous feathering showing on the scapulars.

Thanks for the input, wasn't sure having not seen it before. Tricky for sure in the fall with shorebird plumages. Here is a different bird with a higher white area on the shoulder with a large type bill.
