The Joy of Flying - probably Dunlins?

I put this up to see if some "in-the-know" friend like St Andrews Birder, or Cat Fish Bird, can tell me if these guys are some sort of Sand-Pipers? There is a quite a bit of motion-blur on their wings, but the rear one is fairly clear. They were beautiful, but didn't take too kindly to my ugly-mug being anywhere in their vicinity! The latest idea is that they are Dunlins?

 

Made Explore #274 0n 22 January 2009. I hesitated for a long time about posting this shot because I may have over-treated it in some peoples eyes, however I wanted to get those wave-ripples looking nice.
