Looks like a greater yellow legs but with orange legs kind of like a drake mallard mill pond side of sherwood Island Westport. Ed Bailey Monroe 

Hi Ed et al., It would be great if someone could follow up with this bird and check that it’s not a Common or Spotted Redshank. Good birding!

Just to follow up on this bird: the observer shared photos with some experts and the bird appears to be a Greater Yellowlegs; possibly the same one that Tina Green had in the same area last year. Just proves that there is some variation among coloring that can lead to confusion.
