Spotted Sandpipers have these frontal spots when in breeding plumage. Non-breeding, there are no spots their fronts are only white. Females are a bit on the polygamist side, having more than one mate during a breeding season. The females let the males tend their nests.
These Sandpipers forage along the shoreline, eating aquatic invertebrates. They also snag flying insects out of the air.
