yellow legs and no red on bill.
Definitely not a Marbled Godwit. The part of the bill you can see would be pink if it was a Godwit.
Any shots with the bill showing?
That is a dowitcher in basic (winter) plumage. Long-billed Dowitcher is more likely than Short-billed Dowitcher, but voice is the only really diagnostic field mark between the two during winter. A yellowlegs would be more slender, with a thinner bill and more of a streaked/spotted pattern.
