This was taken Oct 3. 2024 at Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas, TX, USA. The bird has yellowish legs and a slightly decurved bill. I believe likely either a Least or Semipalmated SP. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Apart from the leg colour and plumage, your birds bill is thin and needle-ish while a semi-p's bill is thicker and has a slightly bulbous tip.

This was taken Oct 3. 2024 at Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas, TX, USA. The bird is a very generic-looking duck. There are several of these around. All are either female or non-breeding plumage birds. No hint of green or blue like the teals. Any thoughts?
