Looks like a Sanderling. You're probably better to put any ID enquiries into the ID forum.

Cheers waslooking at Sibley & couldn't find anything but in my Collins I'd say it was a juv Sanderling.
I can see why people don't like Sibley's North American Bird Guide now. |

Sorry what I meant was the Sanderling pics in Sibley look nothing like this bird in the photo where as I think the Collins one of a Juv looks more like the photo posted above.
The neck ring is better illustrated in Collins, it's very faint in Sibley, that's why I overlooked it. |

Sanderlings
I would say it was a Sanderling, but I am no where close to being a expert of any kind. I watch them by the hour on my walks when we camp at Assateague National Seashore.
