Neck is too long and the shape is wrong for Purple, it also have a barred tail so this ruled out Purple. Are these 2 different birds?? I am guessing they are juv. Redshanks but I am not counting on myself...3551sweat445

I think this is Common Redshank. I have found a similar photo. Compare that to HK birds, the bill seems to be a bit shorter.
