Flock of shorebirds flying along the Oregon coast near the Siltcoos River estuary. Seems like more than one type of bird in the flock?

The date should always be given when requesting an ID, and sometimes it determines the range of plumages that should be present in the possible species - and thus can be crucial in making an ID. This is one such case.
Thus, if this is autumn they're all dunlin and largely juveniles. If it isn't, I'm lost.
