This seems fatter than the Lesser Yellowlegs I see. Is this something different?

Maybe a Pectoral Sandpiper?

I agree with Limpkin, it's a Pectoral.

Cool, a new bird for me! Thanks! Saw my first Kingfisher today, too.

At the risk of pushing my luck....is it safe to say these are all the same, Pectorals (with perhaps a Lesser Yellowlegs thrown in) and nothing else?Posted Image
