I would like to know how to identify the little stint on photo#3 & 4 from the red neck stint non-breeding.

Then if this is little stint?

Thanks for John's detailed explanation. It's well known that differentiation between non-breeding Red-necked Stints and non-breeding Little Stints is very difficult.

One more Little Stint that appeared on the same day. Although it is in breeding plumage, most wing coverts are not edged rufous.
