Curlew Sandpiper ?

[Chocky]

I think this is a Curlew Sandpiper but am not really sure
Can you help please ?

Thought it might perhaps be a Dunlin Beryl, but really not too good on these birds, they are a new departure for me.

Main features, the bar down the centre of the tail, small scale pattern on the bottom edge of the wing, slightly straighter beak.

It could be. They are very similar This one does appear to have long black legs where the Dunlin has short black legs and has a large black under patch but I don't know either . I'll see if I have any others they were in a flock of quite a large number.
Here is another . Note no large black patch on the underside

Dunlin Beryl. It gets a bit awkward now as they are just beginning to show signs of going into breeding plumage.

Oh right.Thank you Rolf and Pete
I'm not familiar with these little birds they usually stay up at Bowling Green Marsh
Would that be one (I noticed) has some black spots on his/her underside ?
Nice little birds Can upload them now Thank you both again
