[Maine-birds] Juvenile Red Knot? Seapoint

This one's unusual for here, at least I've never seen this bird at Seapoint before. Greenish yellow legs, bill seems Calidris-like but short for something this big, light grayish back with fine markings, scapulars edged like a juvenile, dark wingtips when folded. Juvenile Knot is my best guess (or Ruff?). Photographed late afternoon . . .
