Observation details

I was looking for lesser sand plover on theapp, but looks like the name has changed. I am not sure if this is a Mongolian/Siberian/Tibetian sand plover. The birds were quite far away, and I am uploading a few digiscoped images. My initial thought was Kentish Plovers, but something didn't fit right. It had dark legs but no ring around the neck. They were too far to see the eyes clearly. I have never seen lesser sand plovers before and am going by the description (small plover, sandy colour, reasonably sized bill, no ring around neck, back of neck sandy colour, dark longish legs). I would appreciate your opinion (would I get an email one way or another?). Presume once it passes vetting, it will be added to the list (I see the name is in white and not blue on the website, and the bird is not added to the list of birds I reported this year).
