Observation details
Continuing bird found earlier in the week by Dick Barth. Plover with dark upper parts with extensive golden-yellow spotting on the back, scapulars, and tertials, while the upper wing coverts were not as dark with grayish-white spotting. The crown was blackish (also with fine golden spots) and the face was dark brown contrasting with whitish lores and supercilium. The throat and breast down to the legs was a dingy, pale gray-brown with extensive whitish spotting, while the belly and under tail coverts were white. The bill was rather slender compared to a Black-bellied Plover (none present), and I never observed the under wing coverts. At rest, there were four primary tips visibly extending beyond the tertials, and the primaries extended slightly past the tip of the tail. I never heard the bird vocalize.
