I tend to agree. The second clearly isn't Baird's as this species has primaries well exceeding the tail giving a very attenuated gizz (unlike featured bird) + doesn't show this dark streaking below ( which is surely a very strong Dunlin moulting feature) + also the bill isn't so obviously down curved.
