Person walking through water (5)

I believe the answer is:

wader

(Other definitions for wader that I've seen before include "Snipe maybe" , "Bird such as a sandpiper or plover" , "Eg, sandpiper or plover" , "Long-legged shore bird" , "Eg, sandpiper, flamingo" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
