If his legs were yellow, I'd go with Greater Yellowlegs... That's a long, mostly straight, bill. Could be wrong.

Well, it's not Grapefruit-Yellow, but I guess it could pass for Night-Yellow.







Just kidding, I'm not at all confident with my ID... Don't have my book here at work... Will have to check when I get home... Just learning that, in photos, shadows can be deceiving.
