Sandpiper ID???

[Wetlander]

Home sick with strep-throat and see lots of birds through the window. Marion spotted this flock of little sandpipers on Cheam Slough. She got a count - 18. I tried a couple of pictures through the window. Terrible quality but can anyone make an ID? Thinking something like Western or Semipalmated. Didn't get a good look at leg colour, but think it was dark.

Hi Kev
Judging by the length of the bill I would say Least Sandpiper.

I was also thinking Least

Thanks! Like I said, I wasn't sure of leg colour and thought it was darker, so foolishly discounted Least. And of course just now noticed Gord's photos in the April list discussion.
