At the time I put this down as a dark-backed Western gull. But the legs look yellow. Kelp gull?

If the beak were black, I'd guess it was a Black Phoebe.

Common Sandpiper, Scotland, Near Oban, 1 May 2017

Unusual plumage on Common Sandpiper. Faint spotted feather pattern on breast, flanks, belly and undertail coverts reminiscent of Spotted. Wing and tail length Common Sandpiper. Is this a hybrid?

Common Sandpiper, Scotland, Near Oban, 1 May 2017

Firecrestphoto@aol.com
Unusual pattern on bird. Note undertail coverts and extensive grey spotting on breast flanks and belly. This bird has the shape of a Common Sandpiper but with some plumage features similar to Spotted. Possible hybrid perhaps. Any ideas?
