Feeding on a sandbar several hundred feet north of the northeast part of the inlet flats, in the loose company of several BBPL who eventually dispersed one by one. Ever so slightly smaller and leaner than its neighbors, with a relatively thinner bill with a narrower base. Most striking feature was the prominent white supercilium, which stood out remarkably well from a distance and contrasted nicely with the darker brown cap and cheek. Back pattern was also noticeably more contrasty and spangled than those of the BBPL, and the breast had an interesting brown, almost light rufous wash from a distance that I didn't notice on other birds. Poor, distant, heavily-cropped pictures, one of which seems to show a decently long primary projection. Returning home, I feel like a bit of a dingbat for not remembering that Pacific Golden-Plover is also an outside possibility in this context, especially given time of year and recent weather patterns, but at least based on plumage characteristics (fairly gray upper parts with no discernible yellowish tinge, albeit as seen in suboptimal light from a distance) I feel like AMGP is a safer bet. EDIT: Also, bill doesn't seem to be big enough or legs long enough.
