Small lightly colored plover. First spotted on opposite shore of lake. Feeding on mudflat. Very pale sand-colored back and wings. White underparts. Top, side and nape of neck sand-colored. White forehead. White extending behind eye. Partial pale sand-colored breast band that did not meet. Undertail coverts white. White rump. Yellowish-orange legs. Short, rather thick black bill. Bill shorter and thicker than Snowy. Snowy shows black legs. Semipalmated plover darker overall. Difficult to photo bird as it was never close to observers. Thick vegetation and concern for disturbing feeding birds did not allow for closer approach. Photos attached.
