Thnx Jellis and Geoffrey :)
I agree with the first suggestion by Jellis: Western Sandpiper.
Baird's Sandpipers not since 2012 that I see and to much color on neck.
Sanderling. Western Sandpiper and Baird's Sandpipers have been reported.
Dunlins are not white underneath and I don't think there is any Semipalmated Sandpipers there at least not reported. Still learning to Identify. I would say Sanderling but they are lighter in color above.
smaller than a willet and maybe a little bigger than the Dunlins i have seen in Martinez.
Not all, Westerns have black. What size was it?
Sandpipers have yellow legs?Dunlin?
Not sure but it looks like a Western Sandpiper
