Is it a Marsh Sandpiper ?

Thanks

Yes, this is a Marsh Sandpiper. The very thin bill is a good way to separate from similar species e.g. Greenshank

Nice pic, like the reflection.

Thanks, the pin-like bill is distinctive.

This particular bird has lost one leg, but it still foraged well on the day I saw it.
