[wisb] Shorebird Identification Needed

For the past few days, I've gone over to Wales Community Park to check out the 
retention pond where I periodically see a couple different birds.   For the 
most part, it has been Killdeer, and the usual visitor, a lone Great Blue 
Heron. 

But, there have been two birds of one species, and sixteen of another.  I'm not 
particularly good at identifying shorebirds (or many others for that matter), 
so I am asking for some help identifying. 

Unknown bird #1:  It may be a Spotted Sandpiper.   I don't think it is a 
Yellowlegs.  Your thoughts?

Unknown bird #2:  At first I thought these were Sanderlings.  But, the colors 
are more brown, so I am thinking it may be a Semipalmated, or Least.  Your 
thoughts?
