Thanks everyone - Yes, there were a few different size of this bird on the shoreline. If two birds in one photo - can I just label as one, and add a note that the other bird is also in photo?

Is it possible there are both Lesser Yellowlegs and Greater Yellowlegs in the photo. The bird on the upper left appears larger and the bill appears longer -- Greater maybe?
