Long-Billed Dowitchers (Limnodromus scolopaceus)

I have read that it is very difficult to tell apart long-billed from short-billed visually. The best way is by the call. I wasn't paying attention to the vocalizations, unfortunately. If someone feels strongly that this is short-billed, I'll be happy to change the identification.
