Shorebird ID

I was at Colonel Sam Smith park on Saturday morning when I noticed this bird flying overhead. It was making a call - didn't seem to be the same as a spotted Sandpiper. Also, the beak appeared to be longer and darker than a sandpiper. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance.

It's a yellowlegs: I'm thinking Lesser but I'm not totally sure it isn't a Greater.

Thanks Reuven. I thought something like this, then abandoned the idea as I couldn't find a pair of yellow legs. Perhaps the angle of the sunlight muted the color. Now that you said it I checked its call and it appeared to sound like an alarm call.

i agree with Rueven, given the lack of barring on the flanks of this bird pretty sure it's a lesser
