Looks like it Neil. That's what I would have gone for.
Brownish uppers which are speckled and pale-ish legs (which are tricky too see, but I got that impression) And the obvious supercilium too, although I don't know if this is disagnostic? Author: tmichael Time: 5/02/2007 22:10
Maybe wrong but I think the bird in the foreground is also a Common Red.
Upperpart feather patterning is identical to that of other Common Reds in same shot and different from Wood Sand I think.

I think you're right Mike. It does look more like Common Red. The upperparts do extend further than Wood Sand.
