Shore bird ID help (multiple images)

I was on Cape Cod MA last week, and had a flock of these quick little shore birds make multiple passes up and down the beach while I enjoyed some morning coffee and sounds of the shore. Been trying to ID them, but pretty confused. At first I thought black bellied plovers in non-mating plumage, but the bill seems to short. I'm now thinking Dunlin or Least Sandpiper. I would appreciate confirmation or correction. CC is also welcome.

Nice shots. My money is on the "Sanderling".

I'd say sanderling also.

Yep, not quite total winter plumage yet.

Yes, Sanderlings. Easy way for quick ID on these birds - no hind toes.

Good one...... I like those kind of little things. They seem to stick with me.

Thank you for the comments and ID.

Nice shots . Are these those little fellars that run 100mph all along the beach and run other birds off and they are small birds at that ?

Thank you. They are smallish, probably the size of a Robin, or touch smaller. They pretty quick, and yes were running up and down the beach. There were only a couple of gulls on the beach and they seemed oblivious to these little guys.

I've never known Sanderlings to chase off other birds. I've seen scuffles with other Sanderlings in the spring. For the most part they spend their time running in and out of the surf to avoid the waves searching for food exposed by the moving water.

Ditto that.
