I’m not sure that the photos are adequate.

Not easy to see the bill, but it appears to be short in all of the photos. So Lesser

The length of the bill is diagnostic. My vote is also for Lesser.

Okay

I would not call it based on these photos.

Agree. Looks robust with a thick bill which could suggest greater but we can't really see the bill length

So I’ll report it as lesser/greater. 👍
