Vancouver island. August. Confirmation (1 Viewer)

Hello! Pictures 1 and 2 are pictures of a bird standing on an islet off Pacific Rim National Park shoreline. Is it a Wandering Tattler, maybe?
Pictures 3 and 4 look like a Townsend's Warbler. Am I right?

Thank you for your input!

1-2. ...or a knot or a small Calidris or... Picture's not really up to it (no offence).

Agree with Townsend’s Warbler and assuming the colours on the wader are not representative of the “actual bird” because of image quality, I’d venture Surfbird.

Cheers

I’d venture Surfbird

Entertaining that the bill looks much too fine for this in pic 1, but (fairly) just right in pic 2. Funny things, photos.

Thanks Butty and KenM. Sorry but the islet was quite far from the shore. Incidentally, the other recognizable inmate of the island was a Black Oystercatcher, but of this there can be no doubts.
I enclose the only picture I have left of the first bird. Although its quality is still more horrendous, the bill can be seen.
Thanks again.

I think the bill structure is fine, as are the “now” apparent yellow legs testoduro. 👍

Thanks, again KenM. Here you mean 'fine' for a Surfbird, don't you?
As for the colour of the legs, both Surfbirds and Wandering Tattlers have them yellow, don't they?.

Bill does look too short for Tattler. I'm in the Surfbird camp
