Observation details
Lovely juvenile. Foraging and roosting on the mudflat edge, sometimes w BBPL, sometimes by itself. Initially it fed on its own while most of the BBPL roosted nearby, then it joined the roost. Clearly smaller than BBPL, with long wingtips extending well past tail. Showed uniform darkish underwings when it flew, no dark wing pits like BBPL. Not golden, more of a warm darker grayish-brown. On its face it had strong pale supercilium flaring behind its eye, offset by dark brown crown. Bad distant photos.
