[Maine-birds] ID help -- Wilson's Phalarope?

Hello Maine Birders,

Heck of a day at Scarborough Marsh this morning.  American Avocet, to start off with…

But before that I was taking pictures of yellowlegs, and this one struck me as odd from afar.  Behaving very differently, and swimming as much as wading.  I knew it was something else, but did not have my guidebook with me.

Fast forward to tonight downloading my pics.  Can anyone confirm this is a Wilson's Phalarope?  That is my working hypothesis at this moment.  It would be a lifer so I feel the need for confirmation.  Or not, as the case may be.

Thanks for any help, and stay safe out there,

Don H
