Long-billed (?) Dowitcher, fall breeding plumage

Edwards NWR, Alviso

Underparts with a few bars and most of the black marks worn off is characteristic of Long-billed in worn breeding plumage. However, the upperparts pattern is muted (brown and buff) rather than bold (black-white-chesnut), which is more common among Short-billed.
