"Cupid"
a Least Sandpiper (positively such), adult, with nothing inner primaries lit on pond edge 20 feet from my broken board blind. The wind is heavy hard, and the bird simply stood hunched up facing the wind, until he suddenly took leave. Gulls keep coming for a moment, drunk. Adults positively recognized as Delawareensis and nothing else. Two Western Semipalmated Sandpipers lit for 2 minutes on mud bar 50 feet from me. Could see relatively long bills, and light patches at sides of rump[test].
