Florida Dowitcher (1 Viewer)

Stopped by the roadside near Islamorada in Florida, and took this photo.
Wondering whether it is a Long-billed or Short-billed Dowitcher in breeding colors.
Thanks for your help.

Short-billed - steeper angle to black loral line, bill is kinked and on the shorter end of spectrum (for what that's worth), mid-flanks spotted etc.
