It has pink toes and lower part of its body is all white. Seems not a wood sandpiper.

Please let me have its ID. Many thanks

It's a Common Redshank.
As well as the orange legs, notice the distinctive wing pattern with a large white area on the trailing edge of the wing - this pattern is unique to Common Redshank.
