Red-necked Stint OR Little Stint, Guangdong, China (1 Viewer)

Hello! Trying to differentiate between some stints really confused me during my birding trip yesterday. Sorry for the low quality pics, but:
Can the brid in the center be safely identified as a little stint, based on the split supercilium, the rusty tertials and greater wing coverts, and the seemingly longer bill and tibia; or is it still a red-necked stint?

For comparison, here's a red-necked stint we saw the same day:

And another one who got me confused, because of its seemingly taller structure:

And by the way, is this one still a common snipe, or is there any chance for it to be something else? Is there a reliable way to distinguish between common and pin-tailed/ Swinhoe's in the field?

Thanks!

Am thinking Little Stint, head pattern as you suggest….looks good.
Will pass on the Snipe.

Cheers

The snipe appears to be a Common Snipe. Note the long tail that extends way beyond the wingtips.
