Shorebird ID (South Padre Island, TX US) (1 Viewer)

[Bear83]

Good evening, I think I have a couple of id's nailed down but I always second guess myself. Any thoughts on the below pics taken 10/2 in South Padre Island, TX.

Pic 1 I believe to be a Semipalmated Plover (darker brown back and dull leg color).

Pic 2 I believe to be a Greater Yellowlegs (Overall body size, length of bill, slight two tone bill, and ever so slight upturn of bill).

Pic 3 I believe to be a Piping Plover (lighter and more gray coloration, legs bright orange).

I think you're correct on all counts. Note also a ? Short-billed dowitcher in 2.

Agree on all counts, especially the question mark on the dowitcher sp.
