I am not real good at identifying most birds in the sandpiper family (especially since they are not common for me to find and shoot here). I am thinking this is either a Dunlin or a Willet, but I may be far off. Any help would be appreciated.

Willet, Kurt. Looks like the Western subspecies, inornata. Nice shot.
