It's very pretty, I feel sorry for were the ID band was placed it is too high up on the leg. But it for sure is a ground egg laying bird, maybe related to the Herring or Crane Family.

Hmm looks to me to be obviously some kind of sea bird. In the Crane or Herring family or possibly a Sand piper since I cant see its face or tell how big it is.
