Appreciate any ID suggestions!

A mystery wader seen on the beach at
the Min River Estuary, Fuzhou, Fujian
summer  2008

Among the stints we know in Hong Kong, Long-toed and Termminck's have yellow legs.  Of the dark legged stints the bill looks too long for Red-necked and Little. Too short for Broad-billed Sandpiper.   

Two photos of the same individual

Would it be an adult Sanderling beginning to assume breeding plumage ?

Thanks Peter! Haven't thought of that.
