Waders + gull [Peru] (1 Viewer)

Three more birds I haven't been able to identify. Any help is much appreciated!

The first bird was photographed at 4000m altitude in the Salinas reserve near Arequipa. I can't think of anything better than that it's some sort of sandpiper.

The gull was photographed at around the same altitude on the way to the Colca canyon and I'm wondering if it's an Andean gull?

The last picture was taken at Lake Titicaca (3800m). Lesser yellowlegs is my guess?

Thank you!

Anne

#1 Baird's Sandpiper (and this is really the default sandpiper on highlands)
#2 Andean Gull indeed
#3 agree with Lesser Yellowlegs
