    Default Sandpiper, or Willet?

    Took this under very very low light, so hard to really see details. Central Florida, MINWR, on muddy pond in mid-March.

    Is this a sandpiper specie, or a willet? I first thought sandpiper because the view makes the bird look rounder and plump. But maybe I'm being fooled by the view and the bird is a bit bigger that it's showing. Also, this is not my original photo, but one of mine re-done by helpful folks over at the Eager-to-Learn forum ... I'm still very new to photography and to the post-picture edit process.

    Looks like a Willet to me. It is part of the sandpiper family, so the answer to your title is: yes, and yes
