Western Sandpiper? I've got to get a better hang of the summer pipers.

Is this a Western Sandpiper? Also, here. Thanks.

The top bird is a Black-bellied Plover (which in another image shows black axiliary patches), and the middle one is an easy Dunlin with the black belly, but I'm not sure of the bottom one. In other images it has very long wings, and quite a long bill. I cropped out a breeding-plumage Black-bellied Plover that was also with them.

These northbound birds flew over the Morning Flight Project platform at Higbee Beach, Cape May, New Jersey. Also on the platform with me at the time were five high school kids getting high post-prom.
