This little sandpiper landed not too far from me while I was out with my camera one day. I didn’t immediately recognize this as a species I’d seen before because it looks quite a bit different from the last one I photographed:
When I went to identify my more recent sighting, I realized the markings suggested a young spotted sandpiper, and then I noticed the patch of downy fluff on the back of the neck of the bird in my photos… So the bird must have just molted into proper feathers and not quite shed all the fluffy chick down yet.
The young sandpiper was also making some fairly exaggerated bobbing motions while probing around for food, which also turned out to be characteristic of the spotted sandpiper. 
Sandpipers are shorebirds, so they forage around the edges of bodies of water. It’s good to be able to provide a bit of habitat for them, and nice of this youngster to provide me with a good clear view.
Maybe the same bird 🤷🏼 Still cool! Good pictures!
