Likely 2cy bird with the brownish look. However it was very foggy, which could have affected the photo quality. An individual with a very short bill, but Lesser Yellowlegs as an alternative is excluded since it doesn't have greenish broad base to bill which in general appears more slender.

2cy+ basic. Some finer details can reveal if the bird is older than 2cy but these are not visible here.

Basic plumage. Apparently there is much variation in color of this plumage since feathers sometimes are brownish and sometimes grayish.


Happy Birding
