Waders in Ethiopia - Lake Awassa (1 Viewer)

I was looking through some shots taken January, 2014 at Lake Awassa in Ethiopia. I'm trying to improve in ID'ing these waders. Am I right to think I'm seeing (from left to right) a Black-winged Stilt, a Spotted Redshank, a Wood Sandpiper, and a Little Stint? (It's unfortunate I didn't get any shots where I could see the suspected Redshank's face!)

Agree with Black-winged Stilt; I think the white spotting on the feather fringes suggests Spotted Redshank; third from left is a Ruff; black legs presumably indicate Little Stint.

Ah, I've been Ruff'd again. I'm always mistaking that Ruff for others. Please at least tell me that this one is a Wood Sandpiper! (and Little Stints in the background?)
