Confusing waders at NSW

Confusing waders at NSW

This bird was sighted at NSW this week and is causing lots of confusion overseas as to it's id.  I'm sure our local birders can come up with an id.

David,
      That's the way I'm leaning too, but there are experienced birds on other groups ( including Hong Kong ) suggesting Sharpie juvenile. And they are definite.

Thanks Guys.  I'm happy with Curlew Sand now too although the head pattern doesn't quite look right.
Unusually too he was on his own with Greenshanks and Marshies.
