@Birds are cool @DLecy
Here are the original photos and a video. The picture I initially posted of the toes with (seemingly) no webbing was a screenshot from the video.

This was taken several days ago near La Paz on the Baja peninsula — sorry for being so vague initially! I’ll be able to post the originals later tonight.
Hi all,
Photographed recently on the West Coast, bill seems to be that of a stint rather than a Semipalmated Sandpiper and doesn’t appear to have webbing between the toes. What do you think? Thanks.
Its primaries are rather short, giving it a long-tailed appearance. Also, the habitat from the photos favor Dusky. Perhaps you’re right though in leaving it as Dusky/Gray unless a pic showing the bill was obtained.
