More likely a sharp-tailed sandpiper I think, pacman, based on the shape of the bill. It's a bit straighter than a curlew sandpiper bill which is longer & has a more pronounced downward curve than that of the sharp-tailed sandpiper. However, other views may be forthcoming.

Sorry a bit late but I would agree with Curlew Sand. The Sharpies have chestnut on the forhead.

I am still hesitant with Shorebird ID

Curlew Sandpiper. You can see the slight curve in the bill of the front bird in the second image.
Other views have been forthcoming!!
