Is this an Islandica or a common?

Many thanks in advance! B + :t:

I've moved this to the correct forum. This perhaps looks better for a nominate subspecies bird to me, with what seems to be relatively pale orange on the head and neck.

It would look even better if we could see it!

Doesn't look like a nominate BT-Godwit to me. Males can be somewhat tricky, but at this time of the year most limosa males are still rather pale-ish. I would put my money on an islandica, probably a female.
