Spotted sandpiper in a tangle of sticks at water's edge. The sandpiper is centered in the photo and is looking right. It has light brown or tan feathers with some brown spotting. Its breast is white, also with brown spotting. There is a white bar above its black eye and it has a medium-sized orange beak.
