I found these birds at the WWF pond in Mai Po. Are they Marsh Sandpiper?

Marsh Sandpipers would have thinner bills, described as "needle like". See the photograph under "Marsh Sandpiper" in the other section of the bulletin board. Common Sandpiper would have a white area in front of the folded wing and behind the darker patch on the breast. I think Green Sandpiper would be a good guess.
