Hudsonian or Marbled Godwit?

[Jon Swanson]

This was taken last year in western MN in May. I am leaning towards Marbled but some have said female Hudsonian. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jon, looks good for breeding female Hudsonian Godwit to me! Nice bird!

[Paul Guris]

Agreed on Hudsonian. Marbled should never show that extensive black feather edging on both the underparts and upperparts.

Thanks for all your help guys!
