I'm calling it a Baird's on the basis of wings longer than tail and back pattern and dark legs. A juvenile maybe? Would love to hear opinions from shorebird experts, which I am, obviously, not. It was alone on the beach north of Cape Kiwanda on 8/20/18 afternoon, wandering around, never flew while I watched.
The experts have spoken and it is, indeed, a Baird's Sandpiper. Cool!
