Thanks for pointing out the correct ID, Rodrigo. Short-billed Dowitcher it is. The bill is too long for Willet. This bird looks like a full fledged adult acquiring its winter breeding plumage, with its (in another shot) yellow/orange legs.

Wonderful reflection Bob. The ID maybe incorrect, looks like a Dowitcher to me. Happy shooting
