ID this shorebird

[Dave B Smith]

Some of the birds I saw during the GGBC. Can anyone ID these? Seaside in Campeche, Mexico.

And it took me some struggling with a field guide to get the Marbled Godwit! And I had the whole bird visible, not just the bill.

These guys were just in the edge of the photo I was really taking. It's three Avocets and is posted in the Gallery.
