Last night you all helped me confirm or identify three (solitary, spotted and baird's) sandpipers. I have another one that looks just a bit different to me than the others. Is this something else and if so what? Taken in Eastern Colorado.

With those long primaries (they extend past the tail), straight bill, and scaled back, this looks like a juvenile Baird's.
