I birded the shores of Presquile today and photographed many shore birds. Now while birding many years fall shorebirds not a specialty. Any ideas. Sanderling was my guess. It was the size of a kildeer, it was larger than the semipalmated sandpiper.

Pectoral Sandpiper

I'd call that one a ruddy turnstone.

I'd second Ruddy Turnstone ,quite distinct markings on the bird

Dark chest patches, patterned head and orange legs. I'd go with Ruddy Turnstone also.

Of course it is a Ruddy Turnstone. We saw 2 of them at Presqu'ile on Sat. so I am humbled in my silly quick glance ID.
