Tringa nebularia? because of that upward-curled long bill... I agree with Malcolm, this is definitely not the Actitis genus...
I did not ask for it to be thrown away, someone may be able to give a positive ID. Nor did I say Triga hypoleucos (should be spelt Tringa), which it most definitely is not, I said Tringa Genus, there are 5 possible species but the most likely in my opinion are Tringa stagnatilis or Tringa nebularia due to the length of the legs
Hi Malcome, I know this picture is poor in details but I could not throw this away without identifying the bird. As you said I hope it is Triga hypoleucos.
One of the Tringa Genus but insufficient detail to be certain as there are several similar species there.
Both bill and legs are way too long for Common Sandpiper.
