Observation details
I did a lot of research to separate this from a Black-bellied Plover, being that it was in winter plumage. Unfortunately, I did not see the bird in flight to look for black wingpits, but I did get some photos of the bird on the ground. I initially determined it to be an American Golden-Plover rather than Black-bellied because of the smaller head, more distinct black tail, and well-defined white supercillium. However, later review (2022) makes me change my ID to winter Black-bellied, despite the supercillium. It is grayer on top, whiter on the belly, and the shorter bill could be a function of sex.
