I apologize in advance for the not so great photos.

Saw this guy working a creek bank yesterday morning.

Least Sandpiper.

Agree, Least.

 

[J.W.Ray]

Thank you both. I was leaning towards least, but hoping for something more exciting.

The yellow legs are a real giveaway as far as the other peeps are concerned.

Yeah. Well I was hoping it might be something like a pectoral sandpiper. Don't they also have yellow legs? In hindsight though, it was really too small to be anything else.
