I would say that this is a Greater Yellowlegs rather than Lesser due to the long, slightly-upturned, seemingly bicolored bill. Additionally, the legs seem to be more orange than would be expected of most Lessers.

Solitary has shorter greenish legs. This bird has bright yellow legs. The bill fits that of a Lesser rather than the Greater. Gave you the Birdweb link to compare, hope it helps. :)
