Long cap on head, fairly sizeable bill and thick dark trailing edge to underwing suggests common. I think.

Thanks for the answer.

It's difficult. The tail seems longer than wings ? Which should suggest Arctic ? But.. large bill with hint of dark tip... suggest Common..

Legs seem long for Arctic... but I really dont know !

An answer, I wouldn't trust me on the answer! Still think common though

Yes. I've put it down as AT. Tail longer than wingtips and more.
