All photos taken in north of Sweden (Kiruna). Yes, some kind of
Sandpiper sounds possible..

If I were guessing, and I am, I would say that the front bird is a
Common Sandpiper and the middle bird is a Wood Sandpiper. Reasons,
front bird has pale whitish underparts but a cut-off between those and
the breast which is a large bib. And the middle bird appears slighlty
speckled and has a broad supercilium and darker stripe through the
eye.

The bird at the back is obviously a MEGA rarity. I just can't figure
out which one

But it's really not that good a photo. It's a bit blurry and dark.

Cheers,

Phil

I've seen up to 7 or 8 types of wader all mixed in together. It's not
unusual. Wood sandpiper are not usually so much out in the open, but
they can be sometimes.

I think that's more than likely. I just had another look and the front
bird has a supecilium too.

Supercilium, sorry. My typing is degenerating (like the rest of me).
The stripe above the eye as opposed to the one that goes through the
eye area.

It seems to me that all of them are. There's nothing else at all likely
with a long thin and straight bill, thin longish legs and that amount of
mottling on the back, as well as the demarcation between the breast and
the whiter belly. Common Sandpiper, which was suggested, is ruled out by
the patterning on the back.

Hey, that's great! So a supercilious person is one with raised eyebrows?

Metaphorically, yes. Possibly literally as well. I've certainly met a
few. Usually it's all of their faces I couldn't stand, so wouldn't
have been concentrating on the eyebrow region.
