Help with some Texas sandpipers

[sbruenjes]

I saw these birds two weeks ago at Hornsby Bend, near Austin Texas. The last pic must be a yellowlegs, but greater? Any help would be greatly appreciated

First 4 are Least Sandpiper last one is lesser yellowlegs.

[Quiscalus quiscula]

First four are Pectoral Sandpipers with a Least Sandpiper to the right of the Pectoral in the last two pics.

First four are all Pectorals with a least to the right of the pectoral as @Quiscalus quisculasaid, last photo is a lesser Yellowlegs.

Ya know I didn’t even know they had yellow legs…

Why isn’t the last bird a Solitary?

This for everything except the last bird. Solitary IMO.

Last bird is a Lesser Yellowlegs in my opinion. The breast streaks are too dark and the eyering isn’t as bold as I would expect on a Solitary. Plus, the wing coverts are molting and gaining their spots, and the flanks are extensively streaked. The bill also looks sharp.

It's one of the key field marks, useful to separate Least from Western (black legs).
