Marsh Sandpiper (Tringa stagnatilis)

A distant record shot. At the time we assumed it was another Common Greenshank, but on review I believe it was a Marsh Sandpiper. Note the long, thin bill as well as the longer legs and more delicate proportions. The barred tertials appear to be retained juvenile feathers, thus it is in its first winter (formative plumage).
