It could be, but it's hard to ID them in flight, especially in pics as small as these.

Liam, do you think this spotting could be the same species? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10319518

Probably Pectoral Sandpipers (Calidris melanotos). Tough call, though.

Thanks ChristyHolland! I hope someone knows what it is.
