Western Sandpiper? The orange tones to the scapulars give that impression. So does the distinct spotting on the breast. The bill isn't very long, however; but it doesn't appear especially thick-tipped either. The orange right above the bill is probably from sticking the head down in "something good".
 
 
juvie Lesser Black-backed? I think so. The head is fairly light the primaries sticks out way beyond the tail.
