The bill of Spotted Redshank is long and slightly dipped at the end. As the bill of this bird is not that long & is straight, it seems to be a Common Redshank 紅腳鷸 128 instead.

In Autumn, the no. of Spotted Redshank is less than Common Redshank.

Thanks AC for highlighting the major difference between spotted redshank and common redshank. And it is more likely to be common redshank.
