Always tricky from 1 photo. Green sands' dark underwing is very distinctive
(obviously not visible here). However, my view from this photo is this bird is
probably a Wood Sand. The broad long supercilium is more 'wood' than 'green'.
The upperparts also don't look dark enough for Green, and the tail looks too
finely barred. The bill shape too looks more wood to me.
