  Just to ease my mind: a bird that looks like a Lesser Yellowlegs but 
has a beak whose tip (for close to an inch) is coloured bright cream 
instead of black is still a Lesser Yellowlegs, right? There isn't some 
other similar species of bird that I'm just failing to think of, is 
there? I was able to observe the bird from quite close and it looked 
like the bill itself was that colour, i.e., it didn't look like it had 
just failed to clean its beak after finding some cream-coloured mud. I 
didn't notice anything else unusual about the bird. But the bill 
definitely caught my attention. I haven't seen a great many Lesser 
Yellowlegs either, though, so perhaps this is not all that unusual.

Best wishes,
Sydney
