Observation details
Initially saw as part of a flock of resting yellowlegs, at a great distance with head tucked in. I could not id it -- thought it might be a willet. I was able to get a few pictures when it flew off with the group. Examining the photos -- it is clearly a godwit with long upturned bill, white rump and black tail. whitish bands on upper wings. Underside of wing was dark in front and white in wide band on trailing side. I've added a second photo that shows the underwing.
