| | | Common sandpiper? ID
I suspect this is just a common sandpiper, but the white underside doesnt seem to extend high enough past the front of the wing. 
Anyone confirm or correct the ID? |

Green sandpiper. Little bit darker and fine spots on back give it away as well as the point about the white that you already made  |
