Sandpiper - Barbados, Graeme Hill Swamp & Nature Reserve (1 Viewer)

Could anyone help me identify this sandpiper. It looks like a Solitary Sandpiper, but the bill appears to be slightly curved rather than de-curved?

You were right, 'tis a Solitary Sand allright.

And unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I'd say you've got a Spotted Sand in the back of the second pic...
