I've looked in the Audubon book and these guys all look about the same to me.
Based on previous encounters in the same area I'm thinking Greater Yellow Leg.

Apr 28, 2012 18:56 | #6 It was his size that was confusing. He was smaller than this one - https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=927790 . The one in this thread was perhaps the size of a large robin. Dave
