Sandpipers? Florida Gulf Coast USA (1 Viewer)

[IDidiot]

Sandpipers and gulls throw me for a loop. The first pic is one that is quite small - between a wren and a robin. The second one is between a robin and a willet. Seen on the shoreline in a mangrove area. Please keep in mind we have displaced birds due to Hurricane Idalia.

Thanks for any help!

So a ruddy turnstone? Wow - new bird for me. Thank you!
