Best match I can find is a Least Sandpiper loosing it's fluffy juvenile feathers. Nice shot with the bird looking back. A bit more DOF would have helped the focus from tip to tail. MER

Looks like it just escaped from the jaws of a lake monster... Immature Spotted Sandpiper? I'll get Derrick to have a look. Heather
