Image: Joseph Kennedy, 31 July 2009 [larger view].
Nikon D200, Kowa 883 telescope with TSN-PZ camera eyepiece 1/200s f/8.0 at 1000.0mm iso400.
Please name at least one field mark that supports your identification.
Ah! The ring necked roving plover-bird!
But seriously, Wilson's because of the darker -than-piping-plover bib?
The bill is large enough for a Wilson's Plover - although the head angle makes it look somewhat smaller.
