Hello John,
yes its a Green Sandpiper for me too. everything is there and judgeable in your nice picture, including the right muddy oliveish blackish upperparts with small white spots. supercilium ends at the eye and lege are pale and habe a greenish-grey tinge (not clear yellow).
Is a Solitary Sandpiper worth considering in Spain in october? I think yes, and although your bird looks fine for a Green Sandpiper, better wait for others to habe a look at it.
