Observation details
I think it was either a Solitary Sandpiper or a Lesser Yellowlegs. Its chest was whiter than the Solitary and it had bright yellow legs, but it seemed more rotund than the Lesser Yellowlegs. It was feeding and grooming right next to a male Green-wing Teal and a Red-necked Phalarope. They made an odd trio. Later I saw it again (or perhaps another one? It looked the same and I had been focusing on other birds for a few minutes) on a log doing a tail bobbing display, which I thought only Solitaries do.
