A couple of waders, not sure which. (1 Viewer)

These were in the same group and I didn't notice the orange coloured bird until I got home. Could I have an id for both photos please. I've not photographed many waders before so have no idea what these are.

Thanks,
Paul.

Bar-taled Godwits - Orange is summer plumage

The right hand pic does look long-billed enough for Black-tailed godwit, but I think its just a large bird as the pattern of the mantle feathers is Bar-tailed.

Ditto the barring on the tail, just visible
