you're right, this is a Solitary Sandpiper. the bird looks nice and sharp. there is some noise in the bg that could probably be removed. I'd consider taking some off the bottom to remove some of the sand--I think that would help the composition.

thanks for the confirmation on the identification, that makes this my first "uncommon" bird sighting:)
