Rounded, blunt primary tips as opposed to Hammond's generally pointed ones. Projection not long enough for Hammond's. Molt fits better with Least (which molts on winter grounds, whereas Hammond's molts on summer grounds). Quantitative analysis of the primary spacing using measurements with imageJ (whatever that is) fits Least better than Hammond's (or Dusky, for that matter).
