Actually, I think it's a whimbrel. Main reason is the "stripey" head and the
way the bill is straight with a curve only at the end. (But I'm no expert,
just looking at my guide books...).

Count my vote as a third for Whimbrel for the reasons cited by Steve
Almond (this bird shows a very conspicuous stripe continuing behind the
eye) plus the uniformly black bill. The Eurasian Curlew has a bicolored
(pink at the base) bill.
Which is a more likely occurrence in the location photographed and at
the time of year photographed?

Most likely is Curlew. It was a BIG bird, and Curlew its more common here
always, than Whimbrel..

My initial, very much non-expert, reaction was 'curlew', however on
checking my, admittedly ancient, standard reference book (Heinzel,
Fitter & Parslow, The Birds of Britain and Europe (Collins, 1972), I
had to change that to 'whimbrel' on the same basis as Steve Almond and
Beng, namely the stripey head ("...distinguished at close range by two
dark and one pale stripes on head." [op. cit. 138]). Looks like the
"Whimbrel"s have it thus far!

Yes, I've changed my mind to Whimbrel.
