I think it looks good for a Little, dainty and not as "hard shouldered" as Red-necked, legs are thinner and tibia looks longer then Red-necked, neck also seem thinner and not as "thick necked" as in Red-necked. The few darker centered scapulars near the shoulder also is a good feature, although this is not the more "typical" brightly coloured Little Stints more advance into breeding plumage.
