Two pictures, both of which have a willet on the left.
In the first picture I think the bird on the right is a short billed dowitcher

In the second picture I think the bird on the right is a dunlin.

The pictures were taken at different times in slightly different locations. The willets are purely fortuitous!

Thanks, as always

Both Short-billed Dowitchers, for me. The long straight bill and patterned back are wrong for STSA
