Looks like a Sharptail to me.

Hi all,
Today, I saw a very bright juvenile sandpiper with yellow legs and lots of
reddish tones on top of head and back. It wasn't super close and I didn't
get a good look at the breast. But what stood out was the very broad, bold
supercilium contrasting with the cap - more than what I'd expect from a
Least Sandpiper. The bill seemed longer and thicker but I realize there
may be variation on this feature. It was foraging by itself. A small
flock of Leasts flew close by at one point from some distance away and
landed around the bend of the lake and this sandpiper did not move to join
them in anyway. Probably just a bright Least but I thought it might be
worth asking.
Hopefully the pics have enough information in them?
