I base my ID on the lack of a prominent white supercilium before the eye (which can be seen on your pics of Green Sandpiper), also you can see the undertail, with a Green Sandpiper you should be able to see the bars, there are none visible on this bird. A little less convincing is the bill just about looks to have a redish tinge, but that could be my monitor
