Hi birders
A friend of mine gave me explicit permission to use his photo to help in our quest to ID the bird. He is copied in the e-mail too.

There was a healthy discussion among a few of us and many are calling it a non-breeding Double-banded Plover. To me it does not appear right. The legs are black, the bill is longer and more tapered. A DbP should have yellowish legs and a far shorter bill when compared to body size. I dont know, to me, the bird appears to be a Red-necked Stint.
Can any of you knowledgeable birders suggest what these two small birds in front of the godwits are?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
Akos
