i think it is a “Willet” — i’ll ask my brother to take a look as well — but the lighter overall color – full eyestripe and partial barring on the flanks suggest that.
Willet was my other guess, but I didn’t notice the dark-brown and white wing patterns that can be seen with a Google Image search for ‘willet’ when the bird was in flight. The wing were more ‘plain’, I guess.
