Duneiden, Florida. Dowitcher (1 Viewer)

Taken today on the west coast of Florida, USA. I'm inclined to say Long-Billed Dowitcher. Sibley says an east coast Short-Billed should have white on the belly in August which this bird lacked (despite the glare in the photo) and if that bill isn't long I can't imagine what is. Seems much longer than various Short-Billed Dows that I've photographed.

Looking for confirmation since it would be new for me.

Marbled Godwit

Yup. Now that you say it, it is clearly a Marbled. I just couldn't make out any upturn to that long bill.

Just a hint, maybe, but agreed not as much as one normally sees.
