The photos are taken in Iceland. Are they Redshank and Purple sandpiper? Or, both of them are Lesser yellowleg.

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...

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.
