I'm a little bit wary of identifying these guys from a single photo. Common Greenshank & Marsh Sandpiper are very similar looking, but the apparent thin needle like bill, pale white face & prominent white eye-brow giving a capped appearance are all indicative of Marsh Sandpiper. So I'd put a beer on Marshie.

Here are more photos.
I've still got my beer on Marshie.
I agree Common Greenshank
does not have needle beak.
I believe this is a Marsh Sandpiper.
