It most certainly is not a Broad-billed, because the bill shape is all
wrong, amongst other things. It looks perfectly consistent with Curlew
Sandpiper, which is by far the most likely candidate. A Dunlin would be an
extraordinary rarity, and I would expect it to look a lot darker and more
contrasty in plumage.
