This bird was feeding with the Marbled Godwit and I initially thought it was 2 Marbled Godwits... but then something was off. I noticed it had a very pale belly and undertail and a distinctive limit to the darker breast, that resembled Pectoral Sandpipers. I also noticed it was a little smaller than the Marbled Godwit. It was also not cinnamon in color but gray and had a more distinctive white supercilium. It also had the upturned bill buy I was convinced it is not a Marbled Gowit based on these factors. I made reference with the Sibley Guide and conclude it must be a non-breeding adult Hudsonian Godwit. Poor pictures were taken through a scope. I will try to return for better pics
