Legs seem a bit short for a Yellowlegs, I think maybe this is a juvenile Spotted Sandpiper?

  Thanks Paul, we have seen plenty of adult spotted Sandpipers and thought this looked like a sandpiper but without spots on this one I thought otherwise.
  
  I appreciate your insight and am lucky to have you thoughts to help with the ID.
  
  Thanks.

    Well, seeing the adults supports my theory at least… I get a little OCD on bird ID and make a lot of mistakes too! Cheers…
