Saw this bird today and can't for the life of me figure out what it is.

These are horrible shots (2nd is 100% crop).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

That was my first guess. But I can't seem to confirm that in any book.

What about a black necked Stilt?

It is a Black-necked Stilt. Where did you take the picture?

William Finley National Wildlife Refuge. I don't think they're common here. I've never seen one before. Their typical range is in the eastern part of the state.
