The Willet is a large American shorebird (Catoptrophorus semipalmatus) of the sandpiper family that resembles the greater yellowlegs but has a thicker bill and gray legs and that displays a black-and-white wing pattern when in flight

It is about 13-15 inches in length. It has a grayish-brown head, back, and wings; a white belly; a long, straight black bill; long grayish-blue legs and black and white bands on its wings that are visible when it is flight. Males and female look alike, but the female is a little larger.
