I'm torn between the Tringa species (apart from Common Sand). Would appreciate some help with this one. Found last week in Lisbon, Portugal.

Hello Max,

yes its a Common Redshank. Other similar Tringa Species differes in leg colour and exact pattern on upperparts.
Wood and Green Sandpipers have spotted upperparts. And have unmarked bellies, with any pattern restricted to the flanks.
Most similar Spotted Redshank with a similar (or the same leg colour in some) has a finer, more delicate bill

... and note red(dish) on both upper and lower mandibles.
