Wow! Great shot Al! I would say a (fall juvenile) Greater Yellowlegs the bill length matches up with my field guide, the Lesser YL bill is noticeably smaller.

Ditto to juv. Greater. Another useful point for this photo, the secondaries have whitish notches along the edge; in Lesser 'Legs, the secondaries are plain dark brown.
