Both are Curlew Sandpipers moving into breeding plumage.
In winter plumage they are quite similar to Dunlin, especially in this region, where that species has a longer bill than in some other parts of the world, but in breeding plumage they are quite unmistakeable.

Thank you very much. It is very difficult to distinguish these shore birds especially when they are transiting to their breeding colors.
