Knot or maybe not

[Ollie]

Thought this was a Knot but the bill seems to long to me. Could be just the angle but it still doesn't look right for Knot. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Agree bar tailed godwit. Knot have much shorter dark bills, and shorter dark legs.

As others have said bar tailed godwit usually confused with black tailed godwit in winter and when at rest.
This bird shows all the key id features required to separate them.
Bar tail obviously, slightly up turned bill, shorter legs, black tailed extend much further beyond the tail, and much plainer upper wing, black tailed have a striking white wing bar thats visible at a distance
