In the field I find it helpful, in identifying a Common Sandpiper, to look for the white shoulder patch,which is diagnostic. They also frequently bob the rear part of their body. If you have both a Green Sandpiper and a Common Sandpiper in the same view, the Common is also smaller in size.

Kind regards, Carol
