If I am not mistaken that looks more like it is a Greater Yellow Leg.
The longer up curved two toned bill says Greater Yellow Leg.

http://www.allaboutbir​ds.org/guide/Greater_Y​ellowlegs/id (external link)

The two yellowlegs species are very similar. Size is marked different when they appear together and can be compared against each other. Greater Yellowlegs's bill appears slightly upturned and blunt-tipped, while Lesser Yellowlegs's bill is straight and sharp-pointed. Lesser's bill is always dark, while Greater's bill is grayish at the base in nonbreeding season. Voice is best distinguishing character: Greater gives three or four piercing notes, Lesser two rapid, softer short whistles (sometimes or or three).

You may be right, Tim. In fact, I was of mixed opinion when I posted.
