Shorebird Mystery Bird

Ok, here’s a mystery bird for the current shorebird class. (if you’re not in the class feel free to email me if you figure out the answer).

I recently emailed a demonstration of how to take a stab at identifying distant shorebirds in bad photographs.

Here are some really bad photographs (distant digi-scoped). But if you use your powers of deduction I think you might be able to identify the mystery bird (#4 in the pix).

Hint: first ID #1, 2 and 3.
