Please Confirm - Stint and Plover

[Bobby Kintanar]

Is this a Long-toed Stint?



And this a Malaysian or Kentish Plover? Note the light-colored legs.



And this is one of the Rufous-necked Stints:

hi, kinda new here. i saw that bird frequently at N.ecija! i think its a family of snipes,but much smaller.

Tough for me to help ID these water birds, but I've to say these are excellent, Bobby... I wonder how you got near these guys!

[Bobby Kintanar]

It happened that there were some Nipa materials some people left by the pathway near water's edge. I merely propped them up and waited for the birds to come along. :-)

So you got yourself an impromptu blind. Cool! . Can't help you much with the ID but I believe the 2nd is a Kentish Plover.

Bookmarking. Will try and look tonight.

EDIT: I still have to look at these - just a reminder to myself!

Bobby,
Yes, OK on the first one - Long-toed Stint (Calidris subminuta) non-breeding adult.

Bobby,
OK on the third one - Calidris ruficollis - non-breeding adult - Red-necked Stint.

Bobby,
The second one looks like an immature alexandrinus in very worn plumage to me. I don't like the extent of the coloration on the malars, the limited extension of the white on the face, nor the thickness of the incomplete pectoral for it being a peronii.

Alright, thanks very much Sir Steve! In any case, I now have a Kentish Plover for keeps, as well as the Long-toed and Red-necked Stints! Thanks again. :-)
