Slightly upturned bill. A smidge lighter at the base of the bill. Really sharp markings - this is a Greater in breeding plumage, right? (sorry, still working on pan flight photography, not the best, but it shows wing shape in flight anyway...)

Looks like a greater to me. The in-flight pic shows the more extensive barring on the flanks that Sibley's shows, and it has a greater's bill.
It looks like it only has one leg. I though he was holding one up, but the in-flight pic only shows one. That would make it a greater yellowleg.
