While it was noticeably larger than Dowitchers at a similar distance, and I'd be inclined to call it a male, I had no direct size comparison, so would hesitate about being definite. I've forgotten the descriptions of the two birds seen in the area earlier -- this one had a dark bill and yellow legs (with probably some greenish tint, but not as much so as the Dowitchers).
