Shorebird ID Help
This was taken in late October at a reservoir in Weld County, CO. My best guess is it is a pectoral sandpiper, but that is only a little better than throwing a dart at Sibley.

Maybe a greater (or lesser) yellowlegs?

Looks like a pectoral sandpiper. Just checked a bird guide I have at home.

George, I agree with Dan about ir being a Pectoral. Identity matches pretty exact from my guides. Looks like you play darts prety well!
