Ballykelly Marsh, Northern Ireland (June) - Black-tailed godwit? (1 Viewer)

Bar-tailed godwit then.
I somehow got the impression that long bill with red part might suggest black-tailed godwit, but now I'm reviewing the images and can see bar-tailed individuals with redder beaks (probably non-breeding adults).
I wasn't sure whether the two individuals on the photo look the same, because of seemingly shorter bill of the one on the right.
