Little Stint ID

Definitely not a Temminck's for all th reasons stated above not least Temminck's has yellow legs but the profile is also wrong. Temminck's tends to ne greyer with a ping-pong ball shaped head and always has a dumpy short-legged appearance. The legs are too long. This bird looks like a Little Stint to me.I agree about the white throat being a misleading diagnostic.This only applies in full breeding plumage.Your bird has a lightly longer tarsus and beak both characteristics of Little Stint in comparison with Rufous-necked stint.
