Awesome find guys, well done!
Paul's images are up here: http://birdo.wildiaries.com/species/19581
Just look at the gait of this bird and the size dimensions. These are great
photos. From the last reported candidate for a SIPO, Jeff Davies provided some
information about identification. I've copied it here for general interest:
SIPO cannot be reliably identified on rump pattern alone.SIPO cannot be
reliably identified based on wing bar extent.
The only way to reliably identify SIPO is on a range of
characteristics, combined with structure and build. The species is:
Significantly smaller than Pied Oystercatcher.Is relatively
dumpy-looking, on account of it having relatively short legs and long bill.
For reference, here are two profile shots from Wikimedia Commons:

Incidentally, over 40 people received news of this bird yesterday via SMS.
We're still intent on getting this system moving in the future but for now,
we're providing it as a cost free service. All you need to do now is send us
your mobile number. Email it to with the state you live in and
your name.
Regards,
Simon.
