I think this is a Greater Yellowlegs Sandpiper. I am not too good with birds, it may be a Lessor Yellowlegs or a Solitary Sandpiper. I am at a loss here.
It was getting late and the ISO was on auto @ 2200. So a bit grainy but cleaned up some in LR.

Great shots, Victor, especially the first one. Greater Yellowlegs is my call.

Victor, excellent set of photos. Double downloads sure do show off the sharpness.
