I am puzzled by this group of birds.
The first from the left seems to have grey legs and a white supercilium.
The last to the right seems to have olso a white supercilium but red legs.
Now the two birds from left to right seems to be smaller than the other two.
All four seems to have the same plumage!

What are these birds? Are they look diferent or it is only an ilusion?

I would apreciate having your opinion.

Thank you,
Cristian

They are all Ruff - a very variable wader. Females are noticeably smaller than males and leg colour does vary quite a bit.
