Tringa flavipes
I think this is either a Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) or a Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca). I think it was about 20cm high. Can someone id this?
Yes, meant to say, bill size is indicative of Lesser. Greater's bill size is about 1.25-1.5x the length of the head, whereas Lesser's bill size is about the same length as the head. Also, Lesser tend to have a longer primary projection, though this isn't always a reliable field mark.
