I agree with you, Barry, definitely a Common Sandpiper. The white "hook" in front of the wing is a pretty definitive ID feature in my opinion

Thanks folks, nice to get something right occassionaly. I thought the white hook and the eve stripe were fairly definitive
Long tail is a good back up feature
