Not the greatest photos, but can anyone help me identify this wader? Seen in The Hague, Netherlands
Thank you.

I think I can offer a Ruff guess! Shape and posture look fine.

Two waders involved in the first shot?

Can you not see 3 legs?

2 legs and a piece of vegetation...

A-h-h!….starting with the extreme left leg, then moving right until you come to what I assumed to be another leg (closer to the camera) followed by yet another leg which I assumed to be too far to the right for the bird?, and a dark curve behind the breast (which I thought might be a 2nd bird?) However, I can now see that my 2nd leg could well be a stalk of vegetation conveniently (bent at the knee?) to confuse😮

Believe a BOC shot would have cleared that up straightaway! 🤣
