Unknown Bird!

While getting the shots of the dragonfly yesterday, this guy flew down right in front of me. Not sure what kind it is. Not one that I normally see around in this area either. Any help in identifying would be appreciated.

My bird identifier app tells me it is a spotted sand piper?

No idea! I hope he did not get lost

A nice shot of this one. It looks like a cross between a mourning dove and a sea bird!

Definitely some kind of shore bird bu the looks of the feet
