[Shorebird from Delray beach, Florida]

It's no guarantee but a shorebird with a relatively short bill is often a plover or turnstone.  Some sandpipers also have short bills but those are mostly longer than the other two.

thanks for that tip.

This is a Black-bellied Plover.

thanks! immature? male? female? all these shorebirds look identical to me...

[Shorebird from Delray beach, Florida]

can you help me identify this? thought it was a least sandpiper, someone else told me a sanderling.

IMO...Bill looks well in range for a Green and the white spotting on the wing also supports Green.

Size would be the real proof... @eatthegoodoftheland, are you familiar with the Belted Kingfisher? if it was significantly smaller than it is a Green. close to the same size as Belted, then it is a Amazon.

thank you for the input. i work for a bird photographer so i did not see this bird in person. part of my job is helping him accurately identify them.
