[cobirds] Dowitcher ID assistance - Teller County

Lots of birds at Manitou Lake and along Trout Creek lately as with everywhere else in Colorado right now.

 

Had a dowitcher today that I believe to be Long-billed for 2 reasons: 1) most likely dowitcher in spring migration in CO, and 2) a couple scapulars with white fringe.

 

Click here for dowitcher photos.

 

Would like to hear what others familiar with this species think. I only have one other sighting of Long-billed Dowitcher at Manitou Lake in 26 years and no Short-billed.

 

Thanks
