Hi Rangel,
I would also love to see the photos. If you have a photo of the feet, the yellow webbing would be diagnostic on Wilson's S-P. However, in looking at your photo, the bill seems large to me for a Wilson's. Also, from the small amount that I can see of the left wing, in appears that there is not a lot of wing molt in progress. Adult Wilson's in spring usually show a really ragged set of primaries and young birds show all even-aged primaries. From what I can see, it looks like the inner primaries are all fresh and new, but the outer three primaries look like they are worn and browner and retained from the previous year. That is a pattern that is found in adult Grant's Band-rumped Storm-Petrels in Spring. It is always hard to tell much form one photo. Let me know if you find more images.
Thanks,
Michael
