    Default Hudsonian or Marbled Godwit?

    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!

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