Shorebird ID without photo (Switzerland) (1 Viewer)

[misikuru]

Hello. I saw a flying shorebird today on a lake in Zurich, but I couldn't get to take a picture. I guess it would be impossible to ID without photo, but any suggestion will be appreciated

• smaller than eurasian coot
• dark wings and white wing-bar
• one wingbeat and glide forward, then beat again and glide
• 1.5 wingbeat in one second
• flight path wasn't undulating
• call sounded like "pee-pip... pee-pip..."

Does Common sandpiper match this description? How about juvenile Red phalarope?

sounds good for Common Sandpiper to me, calling Heedie Heedie
