Yellowlegs? (Central Wisconsin) (1 Viewer)

Here I have some kind of shorebird (which I'm terrible at). It was at a long distance but my girlfriend's camera has some nice zoom.

I would guess a yellowlegs but not sure about greater or lesser.

Thanks

I zoomed into the shots as much as I could, but all I could make out was that this bird is seemingly a yellowlegs of some type. At this distance with this shot, I just don't think there's any way to differentiate Greater and Lesser.
 
I have a hard enough time with them in front of me. Then finally they both showed up in the same mudflat in front of me. One was clearly bigger. Good luck.
