Yes.  Below is an STS from a similar angle showing the corresponding head features. Apparently large size due to photographic distortion

Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

I am struggling to identify some birds  I photographed at the Stockton Sandspit in Newcastle last weekend . I think the back one is a bar-tailed godwit, and the front a curlew sandpiper, but the middle one has got me beat .  

 

 

Kind regards
