Sharp-Pec-tailed

Santa Maria Sewage plant September 18, 2013.  In field bird looked very rufous and made me think Sharp-tailed.  Picture is ambiguous

, Pectoral Sandpiper is much more common. Kind of looks like this  bird on the internets.  I am not saying I saw this bird in the url link.  People who get confused by this are incredibly stupid.

October 29, 2006. Santa Maria River estuary cruddy picture taken by me.

OK now I am saying this is a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.  No Pectoral Sandpiper has that nice color on its breast and no streaking.  except the juvenile Ruff sandpiper like thing also shows this.  The Ruff is more common than a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper.

Ruff or not

This is I believe an adult Ruff possibly a female?  It was at Santa Maria Sewage on September 10, 2013.  Wes Fritz showed me a juvenile Ruff at this same sewage plant Friday September 6, 2013.  A very good birder says this may be a Least Sandpiper.  I did see a real Ruff on October 1, 2013 at the Santa Maria River Estuary.  The morning light meant I got a lousy picture so you are going to have to trust me on this. It is the middle bird of the three birds in the foreground.
