Yep, Ruddy Turnstone. The leg colour is a good pointer in the first
photo. It's in winter-plumage (or should I say non-breeding plumage).
You can tell this by the lack of white around the head and the dark
back with little sign of chestnut.
Cheers,

Hi Folks,

  Yesterday while looking for OBP's I spotted a wader I'm having trouble 
identifying. It was amongst a small flock of Red-capped plovers. Because of the 
reddish legs/size etc my guess is its an overwintering Ruddy Turnstone. Some 
very ordinary photos can be found here:

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Cheers,
