Exotic species
Exotic species flags differentiate locally introduced species from native species.
Naturalized: Exotic population is self-sustaining, breeding in the wild, persisting for many years, and not maintained through ongoing releases (including vagrants from Naturalized populations). These count in official eBird totals and, where applicable, have been accepted by regional bird records committee(s).
Provisional: Either: 1) member of exotic population that is breeding in the wild, self-propagating, and has persisted for multiple years, but not yet Naturalized; 2) rarity of uncertain provenance, with natural vagrancy or captive provenance both considered plausible. When applicable, eBird generally defers to bird records committees for records formally considered to be of "uncertain provenance". Provisional species count in official eBird totals.
Escapee: Exotic species known or suspected to be escaped or released, including those that have bred but don't yet fulfill the criteria for Provisional. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals.
Sensitive
Public information for Sensitive Species is restricted due to potential harmful impact to these birds. Site-specific information is visible only to the observer and eBird reviewer(s) for the region.
We encourage you not to share specific location information about this sighting via social media, public websites, or email listservs.

Details
Rare but not entirely unexpected in this context. Sitting on spit with small group of Dunlin. Very clearly smaller (roughly half the size of the Dunlin, give or take). Smaller, shorter bill, slight droop with fine tip, dark legs. Color paler gray/brown than Dunlin, but not as white/pale as Sanderling. The flock took flight before I could get photos, flushed by a NOHA. May have extremely poor photos in flight that at least show its a peep. Separable from LESA by dark legs and paler coloration. Difficult to separate from SESA, but I would assume the bill would appear heavier on a SESA, plus, WESA is far more expected in this context than SESA.
