Possible Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. I have enhanced the contrast in this photo to show tail and wing tip detail, and the extent of the dark marks on the flanks. Here you can see vent feathers with dark centers and white tips. Several of these also appear to have a dark rachis.
Digiscope shot using Canon G5 through a Pentax 80mm telescope with 20X eyepiece, and 16X combined optical and digital zoom on the camera.
