Looking for opinions on the ID of the sandpiper in the attached photo. This was at Marsh Wren Community Wetland early afternoon 8 Sep (2 days ago). Originally, I thought it a western sandpiper due to the rufous tones and longer drooping bill. Later, I changed my mind and called it a least sandpiper. Ran it through Merlin photo ID and it came back as a least. Subsequent western sightings at Marsh Wren have me taking another look, and asking for help. Thanks in advance! Thomas Labedz, Lincoln
