That smaller bird must be a Grey-tailed Tattler Heterescelus brevipes . Note the rather short and thickish bill, the yellow legs and grey upperparts.

Obviously, the smaller bird in the lower left corner is not a Godwit.

Romy,
No. These are all Limosa lapponica. The bill is wrong for the Dowitcher which would be all black and not two-toned.

Asian Dowitcher?
