Common Redshank

No, it's Spotted Redshank. One - probably the same bird - was there today (Dec 30).

1 also saw three Spotted Redshank at LV on 7 November & 2 on 5 December.

Offhand, I can't recall seeing this species at LV before - and I'm going back to the 1990s here - so these sightings are quite unusual.

(A quick check of past Bird Reports shows there was one at LV on Oct 1, 1999 - and there have been 1-2 more recent records at San Tin & Kam Tin. However, it is still rare away from Deep Bay).
