Dunlin

Because there were black feathers mixed in on the breast, I thought it might be a remnant of breeding plumage and took it for an adult Dunlin in non-breeding plumage — but it appears to be a juvenile. First-winter scapulars and mantle feathers seem to be coming in over the juvenile plumage.

Black feathers mixed into the belly are apparently a characteristic of juvenile Dunlin.
