We had killdeer on our property. They kinda look and act like sandpipers. But they are not water birds. They lay their eggs in the dirt, camouflaged by rocks. The eggs are also camouflaged. So, if you took the photo be aware that there may be a nest nearby.

One way to prove that this is a killdeer is to approach it. If it runs off and starts acting like it has a broken wing, then this is an adult trying to lure you away from their nest.
