INHO all are ruffs.

Yes all Ruff. All juveniles.
Difference in size down to Ruff (male - biggest), Reeve (female - smallest), and Faeder (cross-dressing males - intermediate in size perhaps, but account for about 1% of population.)

Meare Scrape is a great place for waders right now.
Keep an eye on reports from SOS website. That will give you an idea of what waders were seen on a particular day on the scrape. Often listed under Meare Heath, or Shapwick in the listings.
