Well... After a very confusing (not really) stream of replies, my dad and I 
have decided that it is a dowitcher. We rules out a Willet because a few 
moments before, a Willet was feeding next to them. The Willet was several 
inches larger than the dowitchers, as the field guide indicates. Plus, if it 
was a non-breeding Willet, then the eyebrow wouldn't have been as long. When I 
looked at stilt sandpiper in two field guides, both looked nothing like the 
birds I saw. After looking at the dowichers, I believe that they are 
short-billed.
Thanks all,
