Hello Colin,
its a Green Sandpiper. Everything is there, including:
  • only small pale spots on upperparts, and sparsely distributed. They are larger and seems more nummerous in similar Wood SP and Redshank
  • dirty greenish legs, normally yellower in Wood SPand orange in 1cy Redshank
  • the right dark tone to the upperparts, nearly enough for confident ID in Germany
