Hi,
Yesterday, Toronto, Canada.
A flycatcher was silent, any chance to id?
Dunlin or Least Sandpiper? The legs look yellowish, but the bill length?

Eastern Phoebe and probably Dunlin

Sandpiper looks more like a Pectoral on structure.

Pectoral was my first guess when I was looking at it, and I never trust my first guess Probably you are right.

Thanks. I can’t explain it but it looked not Phoeby But of course it is.

Pectoral seems most likely for the first two, but the third sandpiper must be a different bird. It lacks the dark breast and the facial pattern is pale colored with a bold supercilium and it has very little, if any, primary extension. All marks against Pectoral. It looks like a smaller Calidris sp., probably Semipalmated or Western.

It’s possible. I took a picture 10 minutes later, the different bird could pop out.
