Spotted Sandpiper?

I saw this bird across the Willamette River, a bit far away from where I stood. The image is cropped a bit. From what I have seen, I concluded that it is a Spotted Sandpiper. The reasons? First the short yellow beak and second, the spotted chest and wings. If so, I believe it is the first one I have photographed. What I find interesting is that the Spotted Sandpiper is a shorebird. Yes, it was along the shore of the river, but not in a place where there are shallows. Below the bank it was on, the river was swift moving, not a place that I expected to see one. But hey, I am no expert. Anyway, I was pleased to get this shot.
