Hello Fritz,
I agree with you, its a Common Sandpiper. I think, its some kind of dirt/soiling.
Altough a slightly different case, you will remember the note from Peter H. Barthel: "Cauterized Common Sandpiper Actitis hypoleucos feigning Spotted Sandpiper A. macularia" where a abraded/worn (thus with a short tail projection) Common Sandpiper with brght bare parts suggested its rare nearctic cousin."
