Please could someone advise regarding the attached photo. I am not experienced with these 2 species. I am aware the Marsh Sandpiper has a very fine bill, and this bird does have that. However I am slightly confused because the Greenshank's bill is said to be slightly upturned, and the bill on this one seems, at least to me, just a little bit upturned. Any comments would be much appreciated please.
