Dowitcher sp, non-breeding plumage

Radio Road, Redwood Shores

I didn't hear this specific bird call, but it was part of a large flock of dowitchers from which the only call I heard was the Short-billed "tu-tu-tu." On individual birds, I'm holding off making species ID on heard calls in the vicinity. But I suspect that all the dowitchers roosting on the island in the ponds at Radio Road after migration are Short-billed.
