Curlew Sandpiper or Dunlin?

Curlew Sandpiper or Dunlin?

Digiscoped today on Lamma.  At first I thought Dunlin and then I thought it might be a Curlew Sandpiper. When I checked the guide I couldn't make up my mind. Can anyone confirm?  Neil

I think it's a Dunlin - note the drooping bill tip, absence of eyeline, broad supercilium and rather hunched profile.
