Both the written and photographic documentation undeniably point to White-rumped Sandpiper as the only choice, and Cliff should be commended for his excellent efforts to support this record.

Careful description and good photos. long wing extension, along with general grayish color and size convince me that it was a WRSA.

White UTC is the clincher along with other supporting details. The flank markings (often described as chevrons) do not seem to come through that well in the pics but are mentioned in the account. I was not familiar w/ the pale base of lower mandible.
