Thought these were both Semi Palmated Sandpipers but now I am not sure both were taken in Presquile a couple of years ago. First might be a least with dirty legs. Second Semi or Sanderling?

I'm not a shorebird expert, but I'd say the first is a Least based on the bill shape and leg colour.

The second looks like a Semi-palmated based again on bill shape and leg colour.

Thanks Brian. I am leaning that way too, any experts want to weigh in?
