Taken today in a Guatape, Antioquia. I think this is a Greater? I’ve only seen one Yellowlegs before so I’ve got very limited experience of both species😂 thanks!

To my eyes if your gut reaction is Greenshank it’s Big Legs if it’s Redshank then it’s Little Legs - OK a generalisation but it’s about ‘Jizz’:t:

To me, more of a Greenshank vs Marsh Sand comparison - Redshank is stockier than Lesserlegs.

FWIW, Greenshank strikes me as even beefier than Greater 'Legs. But the comparisons work.
