Hi Praveen,

It is a Wood Sandpiper. Nice eye contact. There is some noise in the image. A narrow aperture would have been better to get the whole bird in focus.

Thanks for id Mrudul, can you please change the title with correct id, thanks

Eye contact is fine. I think this is a big crop. In case you are cropping big, it is better to use a lower ISO to minimise noise/ grains in the image. It is not easy to chase these people and click. Waiting at a place by lying down on the ground will result in better chances in clicking it.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I agree with Mrudul regarding the ID and the narrower aperture required.

I see the golden evening light in the photo. TFS this migratory bird.
