Visited the Central Texas coast this past weekend. At Turnbull Birding Center, there were tons of Long-billed Dowitchers. In several pics of a large group coming into land, I noticed a few birds that were different. I'm not a shorebird expert but am trying to learn. I couldn't determine from my guides what the birds were, so asking for feedback.

I've marked the birds I'm curious about with a red bar. Wing and tail markings are different than the Dowitchers and the beak is shorter and appears slightly decurved. Legs appear to be black. I've included one pic of the entire group before landing with the unknowns in the top right of frame.
Thx for your responses.
