I'm thinking semipalmated sandpiper but just not sure. The shot was taken this week on a small pond not six blocks from my house in southeast Nebraska. Thanks in advance!

John, they might be Semipalmated Sandpipers

Hard to be sure without seeing the legs and feet. The bills don't seem to have the droop I'd associate with Western Sandpiper, so, yeah, I mostly agree with Mia.
