Long-billed Dowitcher, Stratford Marina, 11/19/17

Long-billed Dowitcher, Stratford Marina, 11/19/17.

This single Dowitcher has been at the Stratford Marina for weeks, and it seems likely to be a Long-tailed Dowitcher.  Its body is rounded more than most SBDOs,  and its bill is quite long (cf its bill in relation to photos of addicted Greater Yellowlegs).  Also, recently Frank M IDed it as LBDO because of flieldmark visible in flight.
poor focus but shows length of  bill well
