[Hong Kong] Broken billed Black-tailed Godwit?

Broken billed Black-tailed Godwit?

Dear all,

In the photos, the one with the shorter bill, is it a Black-tailed Godwit with broken bill or other species.

With the red colour, I think it maybe a Red Knot, but the neck is longer and the size is bigger than a Red Knot.
I also think about whether it is a Ruff which the size match but the bill is not black. (I never see a Ruff before but in the book it looks different from the photos)

Thanks in advance for your help

Photos are taken in MP on 2013-04-30

I took a picture of a poor Grey-headed Lapwing who has a big tumor on its right face in LV on Apr 27. I think it is really disgusting so I decide not to show it. Poor bird.
