This bird was at quite a distance from me and I watched it for quite a while. I am not great with shorebirds and thought it was a Semi=palmated sandpiper. I ran these photos through Merlin ID and they all came up with Baird's. I do see long wings and a longer black bill which does seem to support Baird's. Not sure if it is buffy colored enough though. The other suggestion by Merlin that might fit is White-rumped sandpiper. Both of these are slightly out of range, but I do know they are seen in New England. Any help would be appreciated. The pics are all the same bird with the exception of the Wilson's Snipe with it in one photo.

A tough ID on this bird, but the under tail pattern was so striking I thought it was worth a shot. Best I could come up with looking at my warbler guide was Palm. Seems I do see a bit of color on the outside of the tail that might rule out palm though. Don't think it is a redstart. That messy breast doesn't help me at all. May not be ID-able but thought Id give it a shot.

Thanks Tony. I wish I had seen it flying a little earlier to get better pics. Best I could do in the short time I had.

Thanks to you both. I am pretty lousy at gulls.

Thanks to you both. That slight wash of buff color is what really threw me off. It acted like a Black and white, but I have never seen one with color in it.

QStacks, I was referring to the orange color. House finches are quite common here, but I have never seen an orange colored one here in VT

Thanks to you both. Truly an unusual bird around here. I saw some orange colored house finch in SC a few years ago, but never one here in VT. I thought immature because usually the color is more extensive even on house finch.

Got this shot today and am trying to figure out the bird. My thought is that it is an unusually colored immature house finch. Perhaps purple finch. I just can't really tell. No other pics.
