Stint id help please. S. Thailand, Feb 26 ,2023 (1 Viewer)

Hi, I am thinking this is a long-toed stint but I am not sure. In particular the eye-ring seems quite clear to me but it is not mentioned as an ID feature. Also, bill base does not seem pale. The bill relative to head seems short for a little stint. Also, it seems to be lacking a white supercilium. However, the breast seems washed in brown with light streaks and yellow-green legs. Photo 2435 shows (some of) the toes.
All photos of the same bird, taken Feb 23 in a marshy area in Songkhla Province, S. Thailand.
All comments and corrections very much appreciated.
thank you in advance
