Has anyone gotten a positive ID on the Curlew Sandpiper at WOC pond since Saturday?

I was probably one of the "other two birders" at the pond last Friday morning, mentioned by Joel Martin in his posting on Saturday.  Joel was right - I was not 100% convinced that I was looking at a Curlew Sandpiper.  There were two birds that were distinctly different from the peeps, but I couldn't get a white rump on either one of them - both may have been Dunlins.

I'm thinking of coming over to try again.  Thanks for any info.
