Shorebirds in Jamaica Bay, New York City (1 Viewer)

[elbosco]

Good evening all

UK birder here - just back from a non-birding holiday in New York/Maine. Before returning to England last night from JFK I had a brief trip to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, armed with some binoculars.

I'm not particularly au fait with US waders so was hoping that you may be able to help with the ID for the attached images (shakily captured through binos). They may well all be least sandpipers but thought I'd check to be sure! Ebird was suggesting Baird's for one of them - but seems unlikely?

Many thanks in advance!

Most are Least Sandpiper. The last one could be Semipalmated

Second, perhaps first might be pectoral sandpiper (e.g. think I can see yellow bill base)

Not seeing a Pec in any of the shots.

Front bird in pic 4, and last photo appear to be Semipalmated. Not totally confident on pic 1. Rest look good for Least

First one looks too leggy for Least to me

And bill of second is too long
