Wood / Green Sandpiper (Kenya) (1 Viewer)

These two birds were photographed in April at Arabuko Sokoke NP in Kenya.

To my eyes, the one on left looks like a Green Sandpiper (finer spotting, darker legs), while the one on the right looks like a Wood Sandpiper (more prominent spotting, yellowish legs)? Is that possible?

The last two photos are of the bird on the left by itself.
