Selangor, Malaysia Stint and Plover ID (1 Viewer)

[Barbets48]

Would appreciate ID help with these birds at Pantai Jeram mudflats in Selangor, Malaysia in December. First photo of two stints is of different birds than the last two photos of a stint.

Hi. I think the last two pics are Red Necked stints? Quite prominent supercilium, dark legs.... not sure, though.

Hi, again. Bit of a guess, I'm afraid. I think pic 2 could either be, Lesser /greater sandplover??? Be good to hear other people's views.

The stints are all Red-necked Stints (black legs, quite a short, stout bill)
The plover is Tibetan (=Lesser) Sand Plover (no white on nape, long white supercilium, pale lores, white centre to breast, white flanks)

Hi. Yeah, Lesser Sand (Charadrius mongolus), has recently been split into Siberia and Tibetan, so, I believe..... I've just read about it! 👍
