I think the photos above show different birds?

The beak for the 1st one is too big for marsh sandpiper. Is it a greenshank instead?

For the 2nd, I'm not sure.  It looks like a marsh sandpiper but the upperwing is so brownish in color.

Think both are Greenshanks. The thick bill tells =)

The photos all show different birds, according to the patterning.
The first three photos show greenshank (compared to Marsh Sandpiper, they are larger/bulkier with thicker, slightly upturned bills)

The last photo is a Grey-tailed Tattler. Note the straight bill, contrasting head pattern (supercilium/eye-stripe), shorter legs and grey rump (just about visible)

More photos have been shown?  

Now I could see that the 2nd one is still a greenshank.  Thanks Koel and John!
