Wader in flight ID help pls. S Thailand, March 19, 2023 (1 Viewer)

[bhutjoe]

Hello, the attached photo was taken around noon on March 19, 2023 in Songkhla province, south eastern Thailand.

My first thought was a Wood Sandpiper due to the extended legs, white rump and lightly barred tail feathers. But if there is a contrast in the flight feathers, it seems very slight to me, but perhaps that is just the light?
All comments, suggestions and corrections most welcome
thank you in advance.

Note squarish white rump and (compared with green sandpiper) fairly uniform (not very dark) upperwing and narrow (not broad) dark tail-bars.
