Birding the Wastewater today I found what I believe to be a Dunlin in the northwest corner of the east lagoon. Seems a little late in the year to me?

Hello Rick, I thought that you may have noticed this bird in flight. Did it have a white rump with no dark bar between? I do think this is a Dunlin, but can't rule out a Curlew Sandpiper until seen in flight to confirm. Curlews seem to stand more upright, too.
I had Carolyn Weng and Caleb Putnam look at this photo, and Rick sent them another for further ID. For various reasons available upon request they both thought Dunlin.

I did not see this bird in flight. I took several shots of it on the ground and moved on.
