Tringa nebularia? because of that upward-curled long bill... I agree with Malcolm, this is definitely not the Actitis genus...
I did not ask for it to be thrown away, someone may be able to give a positive ID. Nor did I say Triga hypoleucos (should be spelt Tringa), which it most definitely is not, I said Tringa Genus, there are 5 possible species but the most likely in my opinion are Tringa stagnatilis or Tringa nebularia due to the length of the legs
Hi Malcome, I know this picture is poor in details but I could not throw this away without identifying the bird. As you said I hope it is Triga hypoleucos.
One of the Tringa Genus but insufficient detail to be certain as there are several similar species there.
