This is probably an adult winter Temminck's Stint but some first winter birds can look like this once they have moulted all their juvenile feathers. The bill colour does not help in ageing. In juveniles, the upperparts are 'scaled' in appearance rather than these distinctive uniform grey-brown feathers with dark shaft streaks.
Nice picture.
