Cortland, OH(Zone 5a)

This morning we discovered 4 Ruddy Turnstones along the shores of Mosquito Lake and along with them was this shorebird that we are unable to identify. Please help.

Thanks so much

Dowitcher, probably Long-billed, but not possible to completely rule out Short-billed on this pic.

Yup it's definitely a Dowitcher and the more I looked at photos of the long and short billed. I believe that its a short billed, just because of the coloring. Have a good day!!!
