Lovely but this is a way better bird than a dowitcher. It is a Common Snipe (or at least that is the old name....) It is amazing to get such a clean view of one and you made the most of it by creating a wonderful image. You might want to lose the one tiny dark stick sticking up into the top of the bird's right leg. And maybe tone down the two dark spots in the BKGR in front of the bird with a 40% Clone Stamp Tool.... Love to you both.

Hi Gary
I was about to say that it looks so much like our Snipe !! Great shot . If anything looks a little "crunchy/contrasty on my gear but could be my montor. No big deal.
Cheers

Great job getting one in the open!
Looks a bit crunchy/oversharpened to me as well.
