Hello all. I would like to add this bird photo to my flickr account, but can't seem to locate the name. Captured this photo of this bird while it was perched on a branch near the Breitenbush Lake, not too far from the PCT.
It has an orange beak with brown spots underneath, and brown wings. Thanks!
Do you know the name of this bird?

Almost every time I see an unknown shore bird, anywhere in the world, it turns out to be a spotted sandpiper...
Re: Do you know the name of this bird?
To my inexpert eye, the bill looks too short to be a sandpiper. Compared, that is, to other sandpiper photos shown by Google.
Re: Do you know the name of this bird?
No, it's a spotted sandpiper. Nothing else like it, especially given the location.
