So I need all your expert opinions.

The Sandpiper in the front left has red running from its bill and face all the way past its legs. Compared to the sanderling on the right, it's a more tapered bird, with a decurved bill. It's definitely not a Red Knot (look at my other pictures for Red Knots). What do you all think? I've had some people say Curlew Sandpiper, and some say a Sanderling that's been in a Clay Pit. I have NO idea!
