Howdy texbirders, Recent analysis of the video of the "Ruff" proves conclusively that the bird that was at 8mile road was not a Ruff. It is a Pectoral Sandpiper based on "...the dark bar extending from the wingtip along the underwing greater secondary coverts." (T. Leukering). Thanks to John Tharp for getting the experts to weigh in on this puzzling bird. And thanks to all those who gave input into this field ID problem. Dennis Galveston -- W.
