The photo is taken by Hey in Long Valley this Monday morning.
From right to left, the 1st and 3rd bird are Marsh Sandpiper, but the 2nd and 4th are unknown. Is 2nd one be possible Grey Tattler?
Would experts please help ID of this wader?
Thank you so much!!

I'm sure they are Marsh Sandpiper.
Actually there are totally 6 Marsh Sandpiper in Long Valley this week.
I suppose Black-winged Stilt will be much taller and thinner bill.

Size of Greenshank is much larger than the Marsh Sandpiper and the bill of Greenshank points a bit upward. Doesn't fit too.
Really want to know what species is this mystery bird. If it is Grey Tattler.... then this will be the first record in Long Valley. (haha... i'm still thinking if it is Grey Tattler)
