They all looks like same species. Looks like a Greater Sand Plover? The bill looks quite long and pointed. Also, the big bird my guessing is Pacific Golden Plover.
Extracted from my video clip, further processed the pic so able to see much clearer.

Both pics below were same 2 birds. Lesser Sand-Plover (Tibetan)? Its bill looks shorter, white supercilium also looks much clearer compare to above.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I agree with Red-necked Stints and Pacific Golden Plover in #1 (and Red-necked Stints in #4-6).
The sand plovers in #2-3 look like Tibetan (Lesser).
 
In 1, all but the golden-plover-thing, and all in 4-6 are a Calidris. They all look the same and I assume they're red-necked stints.
2-3 look like lesser sand plovers.

Thank you so much Butty & John. Red-necked Stints is a new one for me :love:.
