Shot in Connecticut this morning. My gut tells me it's a Willet, or is it some sort of Sandpiper? I don't believe it's a Godwit because of the beak, or a Dowitcher because of my location. But I am so new to waders that no answer would surprise me. Boy, I'm stumped. Perhaps I'm making more of this than I need to.

Thanks everyone! :t:

KC, it's probably habitual self deprecation. Too much Married With Children in my history, perhaps...thanks Al Bundy!
