I'm trying to work out if my photo is of a common sandpiper or a spotted sandpiper in non breeding plumage,
I cannot emphasise how important this is.

I'm calling the RSPB about your shoes, I bet the heels are beaks.

You must have spotted it before you took a photo,
ergo it's a spotted sandpiper.

Has it had a birdbath recently, in which case...
it's a spotless sandpiper

I heard their calls are quite abrasive
It’s a spotted sandpaper

Bit tricky to advise without seeing the photo. Run it through an ascii art generator and paste it here.
