Agreeing with Bill & Tom…
The reason is the orange-reddish streak on the lower Mandible/beak…
This is characteristic of W-R S…

In fact, Mr Morris reported this in 1996 in his book Shorebirds, pg122…
18 years later… Mr Sibley’s, 2nd Ed. concurs, saying that this feature is “diagnostic if visible”.

(Wish I could say that I had known this, before I did a little research… Thanks Professor)

The white borders of the lower scapulars make me think it’s a juvenile.
