Mai Po - january 8th
The distance between the tip of the tail and the end of the wings, as well as the absence of white on the back of the eyebrows make me think that it is not a common sandpiper.

It's a Temminck Stint.
I always think it looks like a "mini version" of Common Sandpiper.

Cheers,
Katherine
