Sanderling (Calidris alba)

This species has one of the most cosmopolitan ranges of any bird, being found during migration and winter along all the coasts of all the continents of the world except Antarctica. It breed in the high arctic. This one is still mostly in winter (basic) plumage, all white below and uniformly pale gray above. Notice how the dark eye stands out on its face, a useful identification feature.
