Actitis macularia
small birdie, about 6-8 inches in head to tail length, brownish feathers with white body, resembled at first instance to me like a duck, but the webbed claws were missing.
near waer body and marshy areas
this lil one was busy gobbling a lot of small insects in the water and at the bank of water body..... looked quite shy to me, and a good runner.

thanks Leuba Ridgway.
Lovely spotting of the sandpiper - nice & natural ! Thanks for the information.
thanks again ashley.....looking for further details.
It's a type of sandpiper, but can't help you any further than that. They are all too similar! Hopefully someone else can be of more help :)
