Tideline bird, North Devon Dec 2015 (1 Viewer)

LowellMills

Is this your Sanderling?
(at night, no flash, no problem)

My dog found this far-gone bird in Instow, North Devon on 7th Dec 2015. I wish I'd bagged it up as I couldn't identify it and the tweet going round about this Mega tideline bird in Cork just across the water has piqued my interest. All I have are four mobile phone photos of head, wing and body with a Swiss Army Knife (95mm) as size comparison. No flash so taken by light of a torch. Anyone want to help me ID this? Bill shape/length and white belly don't make for an obvious seabird species for me.
