Observation details
Breeding plumage Pluvialis plover. Obviously smaller than nearby Black-bellied Plovers, with much warmer brown back. Continuous white stripe from supercilium, down the side of the head and bulging on the sides of the neck. Too distant to ascertain with certainty whether there were any white markings on the flanks. No white detected on vent or undertail. Very distant heat shimmery digiscoped video.
