Request help with this bird. It looks a lot like the solitary sandpiper examples I have, except this bird is not as spotted as the examples. Taken on a pond in Estero Llano Grande State Park, Westlaco, TX., 1/8/18. Thanks all for your assistance.

Spotted Sandpiper: white wedge around the "shoulder bend" and yellow (ish) legs exclude Solitary and are good pointers for Spotted even from a distance.
