Unsure of Shore Bird - Terek Sandpiper

So I was going through my hundreds of photos trying to sort through when I came accross this particular one, which I believe gives me 2 ticks. (Don't know how I missed it.

I'm not 100% sure of these shore birds but I think the one in the centre is a Terek Sandpiper. (slightly upcurved black bill, with orange at the base as well as short orange-yellow legs)

The other birds I believe are Grey-Tailed Tattler except for the half bird on the far right which I think is an Eastern Curlew.

Would love some verication

Thanks Pacman, thats a new tick for me.

Could you confirm the others are Grey-Tailed Tattlers?

yes, the others are Tattlers and given that Wandering Tattler keep to themselves and to rocky areas these would be Grey-tailed tattler

you only have the back end of the Eastern Curlew and therefore can't count it ;-0
